Microsoft has just released the latest version of the Linux integration service. Many new features are added to the Linux support on Hyper-V, especially:
· In Linux, each virtual machine supports four vcpus
· A Time Synchronization component provides the same time synchronization function as Windows virtual machines.
· A closed integration component allows users to directly close Linux virtual machines through the Hyper-V user interface or the WMI Interface
All existing Hyper-V versions support the following services and functions:
· Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 Standard, Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, and Windows Server 2008 Datacenter (64-bit only)
· Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008
· Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, and Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
· Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2
Soon these new features will be submitted to the Linux kernel, so that you will see that these features will be available in your favorite Linux release.
