Abstract
Thus far, you’ve learned about setting up new workloads and migrating existing ones. You’ve learned methods to make your VMs resilient to failure and about configuration and troubleshooting methods. There is another handy feature that is baked into Hyper-V, namely, Hyper-V Replica. While failover clustering does a fantastic job of keeping your workloads running, by using the built-in high-availability features of Microsoft clustering, what if you’re in a situation in which you don’t have a failover cluster? Maybe you’re at a location with a single host and no cluster, but you still want some level of built-in redundancy. What if something were to happen to your main production location? In that situation, you’d likely have to rely on your backup software, to get back up and running, but that can take some time, depending on the vendor. These are situations in which Hyper-V Replica can help.
