Microsoft has been your trusted infrastructure partner for 20 years. Every time a sea change in computing and IT threatened to swamp you, we were there:
Server for the masses
We started changing the game when we took on Big Iron and Unix. The NT 4 release helped customers migrate to the next generation of computing, which enabled organizations to use commodity hardware for file/print and company wide applications.
Enterprise Era and Y2K
With the next version, we dropped the NT name and gave the product a name it deserved: Windows Server As we entered the Y2K hubbub, we also moved into the Enterprise era and brought five 9’s of reliability, scalability and accessibility to the market. Windows Server 2000 introduced Active Directory, group policies, enterprise wide security policies and centralized groups and permissions. Three years later, Windows Server 2003 launched the .NET framework, which set off an explosion of native apps that developers built using ASP.NET, VB.NET, and C#.
Datacenter Era and moving to the cloud
Windows Server 2008 moved us into the datacenter era, offering virtualization in the OS with Hyper-V, the Server Core installation option and much more. Windows Server 2012 brought us into the cloud era, by opening the door to any app on any cloud. As we approach the launch of Windows Server 2016, we look forward to helping customers take the next step. For many, it means beginning to move to the cloud. For others, it means adding more security and efficiency in their on-premises IT systems. We’ve designed Windows Server 2016 to support both goals, so customers can move to the cloud at the pace that works for them.

When it comes to applications, historically, IT administrators deployed with a 1:1 application to server ratio. When a new application was required by the business, it was deployed onto a newly provisioned physical system, to ensure no conflicts with existing applications and workloads. This resulted in a huge number of physical servers, all with very low utilization.
Fast forward to a more modern datacenter, where virtualization is now prevalent, and you’ll find significantly higher consolidation ratios, much greater utilization and significantly accelerated app deployment speeds as administrators deploy applications in minutes, compared with hours, days or weeks in a purely physical datacenter.
Compared with applications that ran on individual physical servers, the compatibility of those same apps to run inside virtual machines was typically very high. After all, the virtual machine just presents virtual hardware to the same operating system that was running in the physical world. The only consideration being, if that application or workload has a requirement for a specific piece of hardware, such as a PCI-E card, that couldn’t be virtualized and presented through to the guest operating system. In addition, once that application was encapsulated inside the virtual machine, it benefited from higher levels of redundancy, and also mobility, through features such as live migration.
There is however, a new and increasingly popular way to build, ship, deploy and instantiate applications. Containers can further accelerate application deployment and streamline the way IT operations and development teams collaborate to deliver applications to the business.
But what are containers? Well, to give the computer science definition, containers are an operating system-level isolation method for running multiple applications on a single control host. With developers building, and then packaging their applications into containers, and providing them to IT to run on a standardized platform, it reduces the overall effort to deploy applications, and can streamline the whole dev and test cycle, ultimately reducing costs. As containers can run on a host OS which itself could be physical or virtual, it provides IT with flexibility, and the opportunity to drive an increased level of server consolidation, all whilst maintaining a level of isolation that allows many containers to share the same host operating system.
Windows Server containers are isolated behind their own network compartment. This can be provided a NAT DHCP or Static IP. Each container has an independent session namespace, which helps to provide isolation and security. The kernel object namespace is isolated per container.
Hyper-V Containers take a slightly different approach to containerization. To create more isolation, Hyper-V Containers each have their own copy of the Windows kernel and have memory assigned directly to them, a key requirement of strong isolation

14. Challenges in protecting the OS
Microsoft Build 2016
11/18/2018 7:44 PM
Challenges in protecting the OS
New exploits can attack the OS boot-path all the way up through applications.
Known and unknown threats need to be blocked without impacting legitimate workloads. ?
Once a hacker gets in, we discussed how they can “lay in wait” for days or weeks, looking for an opportunity to get at the really valuable data.  This is usually tied to your strategic applications or databases.  This means we need many layers of protection, from the OS boot-path, all the way to the application.
Example threat: Ransomware on university servers locks users away from critical student and research data—until a ransom is paid to the attacker.

Help protect the OS and applications On-premises or in any cloud
Device Guard
Ensure that only permitted binaries can be executed from the moment the OS is booted.
Windows Defender
Actively protects from known malware without impacting workloads.
Control Flow Guard
Protects against unknown vulnerabilities by helping prevent memory corruption attacks.
Additional security features can be enabled as needed to help you:
Prevent malware and ransomware from being injected into servers.
Quickly identify behavior that indicates a server breach.
How Windows Server 2016 helps:
Ensure only permitted binaries are executed with Code Integrity. If someone tries to infect your OS with a new application (malware, etc.) they cannot run when the OS is protected by Code Integrity.
Windows Defender is the same antimalware feature you get in Windows 10 …it  also protects against known vulnerabilities without impacting server roles (such as Web Servers).
Protect against unknown vulnerabilities (these are attacks that are not identified yet in our antimalware database) with Control Flow Guard. If application is acting strange or suspiciously, we can block it until we check it out.
These features work no matter where you deploy it! Your datacenter, on Azure/AWS/Google or a VMware environment.

What is happening with storage in your datacenter?  
Data continues to multiply exponentially, driving storage costs up every year.  Windows Server 2016 delivers new features for reliable, cost-effective high performance storage.
Built into the OS, and software-defined benefits means it is not vendor-specific and can work with industry-standard hardware.
New in Windows Server 2016:
Storage Replica allows you to enable storage-agnostic (SAN, JBOD, attached storage) replications between servers or clusters for disaster recovery. Synchronous replication provides zero data loss, block-level replication; asynchronous replication is also available.
QoS- With Storage Quality of Service, administrators can centrally manage and monitor storage performance and control workload access to storage resources. In this way, critical workloads can receive higher-priority access to storage resources. Policies define storage I/O minimums and maximums for virtual machines and ensure they are met, providing consistent performance across VMs.
Intro Storage Spaces Direct adds the ability to build software-defined storage using industry-standard servers with local storage. The new feature removes the need for a shared SAS, or Serial-Attached SCSI fabric, simplifying deployment and configuration. Disk support now includes lower-cost and higher-performance Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) and Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) solid state drives.

The new Storage Spaces Direct feature in Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition supports two deployment scenarios: hyper-converged and disaggregated.
-The disaggregated scenario separates Hyper-V servers from the Storage Spaces Direct servers, enabling scaling of compute separate from storage.
-In the hyper-converged scenario shown here, the Hyper-V (compute) and Storage Spaces Direct (storage) components reside on the same cluster to enable simultaneous scaling.
Key Message: 
Microsoft’s on-premises strategy is for a converged / disaggregated architecture running Hyper-V over SMB. That could be either to a 3rd party NAS device, or to a Software-defined Storage solution with a Scale-out File Server as a NAS head which is backed by either Storage Spaces Direct or Storage Spaces with shared JBOD’s.
Microsoft is a cloud company and we embrace your choice of storage for your cloud. Be it traditional SAN or NAS, and for those looking to reduce costs we also offer Software-defined Storage solutions.

With SDN, workload owners can describe the network topology for their app, and a centralized network controller can push policy to realize it. Consider the following app – it has two web servers, two file servers, and leverages AD.
The first policy the NC pushes out is to deploy each of these tiers in different subnets. So, web servers are in one subnet, file servers in another, and AD in yet another.
Next, the NC wraps all of this with a virtual network. Now, these subnets can route amongst each other within this overlay or sandbox, while another app or tenant can construct a similar topology in its overlay with both running on top of the same physical infrastructure.
Next, the services may want outbound connectivity through either a NAT or a gateway. Say, you have services on the Internet that the web servers need to connect through. They can do so via a NAT.
The workload may need load balancing for it to be real. Requests coming into the web servers get load balanced via a scale out load balancer. And then there may be internal load balancing needed too – between the web tier and the file server. The Network controller simply pushes policy to enable these based on the workload requirements.
And finally, IT will want to secure this workload. For that, it can dynamically segment the network to meet app and security needs. In the Front-End Network Security Group, it can deploy policy to only allow port 80 in, and only allow these web servers to communicate on a specified port to the back end subnet. Now any web server instantiated into this Group will automatically inherit this policy. What this means is that if one of the web servers were to get infected (say because it was not patched), then it will have no ability to move laterally on the network to infect the other web servers – which means your service remains available. Even better, if the app and security team determines that we need to allow port 443 in as well, it is a simple matter of just updating policy for that security group, and all VMs automatically inherit it. So, you can dynamically segment your network based on app and security team needs.
If you are under attack or for any reason you want to inject a specialized appliance in path for security monitoring, deep packet inspection and so forth, it’s easy to do.
Now, imagine if you wanted to deploy this app on the physical infrastructure – it really is a simple app (most apps will have at least two tiers to them, and interact with some service). There will be a lot of changes necessary on the physical network to deploy it and to correctly secure it. And then if you have to change something to react to a threat, it would take a lot of time.
Microsoft’s SDN automates all of this for you. And it brings a time and scale tested model of what we do in Azure to all our customers in WS 2016.

Network Security Groups for microsegmentation
Routing and mirroring to specialized virtual appliances
Reduce costs
Ability to converge RDMA and Ethernet traffic on the same teamed NICs
QoS for predictable performance
Monitoring and automation to reduce OpEx
To summarize our offerings in Windows Server 2016,
You can move faster with the network controller for deployments. We support VXLAN based overlays, we allow for tiers of your virtual networks to easily be moved into Azure or other service provider clouds. This gives you the ultimate flexibility in deployment. In addition, we built up a load balancer from the ground up to satisfy unique cloud requirements that only a public cloud provider like Microsoft would know. And we support both external and internal load balancing as we saw in the workload deployment earlier.
Next, the industry is spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on dealing with cyber-attacks. The classical way to solve for this problem is to have a big firewall at the edge. But as we have seen over the years, that is simply not enough, as it is too far away from the workload and data it is trying to protect. With Windows Server 2016, we give your security teams the ability to dynamically segment the network based on app needs and evolving threat vectors. You no longer are limited by what can be done on the physical network – you can create a level of security that is precisely aligned with what you want as opposed to having to compromise to what the physical infrastructure can enable. And the time in which the changes can be deployed.
Finally, you can reduce costs. We operate a hyper-scale cloud, and we are continuously updating our designs to reduce cost. One of the learnings we have had is that as NIC port speeds go from 1G to 10G to 40G to 100G, having separate physical networks for storage and networking is expensive. In Windows Server 2016, we allow you to converge your RDMA based storage networks and the network used by your compute VMs – while having predictable performance for both. These innovations together with our network controller, load balancers, firewalls, gateways are all included with Windows Server and System Center.

Datacenters are expensive and complicated. As data traffic continues to grow, IT organizations struggle to contain costs. 
Customers want to improve server density, reduce storage structure and gain scale and flexiblity for their networks and workloads.
For some organizations, this requires reconsidering the role of hardware and software in operations. A software-defined datacenter evolves the datacenter model to achieve cost-savings and flexibility by using technologies that move control of compute power, storage, and networks from the hardware to the software. With Windows Server 2016, customers benefit from technologies inspired by and proven in Microsoft Azure. .
