It’s finally here – the preview of Windows Server 2019!
Windows has release the first preview of the completely new Windows Server 2019. In this article I will summarize the main news and tell you a little about them. The final version of Windows Server 2019 are planned to be released in the second half of the calendar year 2018.
 
Hybrid cloud scenarios

  • Windows Server 2019 will come with the previously announced Project Honolulu (which is a modern server management interface). This will help you to more easily integrate Azure services (like Azure Backup, Azure File Sync disaster recovery) so you can use these services in a more convenient way.

Security

  • Shielded VMs was first introduced in Windows Server 2016 and was only available for Windows Server. In Windows Server 2019, support are added for Shielded VMs for Linux. VMConnect will be improved for troubleshooting of Shielded VMs for both Windows Server and Linux. Another new feature is called Encrypted Networks which will let admins encrypt network segments to protect the network layer between servers. Microsoft is also embedding Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) feature in the operating system which provides preventative protection, detects attacks and zero-day exploits.

Application Platform

  • Microsofts Goal is to reduce the Server Core base container image to a third if its current size of 5 GB. That will reduce the download time for an image by up to 72 % which will be a significant performance boost. Also, in Windows Server 2019 the choices available when it comes to orchestrating Windows Server container deployments are event better. Another new feature is the ability to run Linux containers side-by-side with Windows containers on a Windows Server.

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI)

  • Windows Server 2019 are adding adding scale, performance and reliability to HCI environments. With Project Honolulu (mentioned above) you will have the ability to manage HCI deployments which are a great new feature. This will help you simplify the management and day-to-day activities on HCI environments.
