All you need to know about Windows Server 2016

Hello! We have accumulated a lot of Russian-language materials about Windows Server 2016, which I would like to share with you. In addition, at the beginning of the month a Russian-language version of the book "Introduction to Windows Server 2016" was released. You will find out more about this, as well as other interesting articles and videos on server topics below.

Free e-book Introduction to Windows Server 2016 (pdf)

There is very little literature on Windows Server 2016 in Russian, so the release of this translation came in handy.

The book "Introduction to Windows Server 2016" is devoted to the analysis of the key functions of the system and may well become a reference book for those who constantly work with Windows Server 2016. You will also find in it a description of the deployment scenarios of the system and the features of migration. The introduction does not imply an immersion in the details of a particular technology, but the book provides links to additional sources of information on topics.

The reader is expected to have basic knowledge of Hyper-V, networks, storage, and Microsoft Azure.
