Microsoft анонсировала ОС Windows Server 2022
Microsoft анонсировала Windows Server 2022. К этому моменту операционная система представлена качестве в предварительной версии (preview) и доступна для скачивания участникам программы Windows Insider. В число основных возможностей обновленной серверной платформы производитель включил:
- продвинутую многослойную систему безопасности. Microsoft заявляет, что главным в этом выпуске является добавление возможностей защиты ядра к System Guard в Windows Defender, а также функции безопасности, основанные на виртуализации. Компания также обещает повышение скорости и безопасности HTTPS-соединений и добавление шифрования SMB AES-256.
- гибридные возможности, реализованные при помощи Azure. По словам разработчиков, в Windows Server 2022 реализована усовершенствованная гибридная система управления серверами, и все больше функций было делегировано облачной инфраструктуре. Windows Server 2022 поддерживает работу с Azure Arc – набором технологий, который расширяет возможности управления Azure до локальных, многопользовательских сред и периферии. Azure Arc позволяет клиентам использовать централизованный, унифицированный подход с самообслуживанием для управления своими серверами Windows и Linux, кластерами Kubernetes и службами данных Azure. Интеграция со службой Storage Migration Service обеспечивает «непрерывную синхронизацию» с минимальными задержками между локальными файловыми серверами и Azure-хранилищами.
- гибкую платформу приложений. В обновленной ОС предусмотрены инструменты, улучшающие скорость разработки и поддержку критически важных для бизнеса приложений, например, SQL Server. В Windows Server 2022 добавлены несколько улучшений, связанных с контейнерами Windows. В первую очередь уменьшен размер образа Windows Containers, что приводит к сокращению времени загрузки и повышению производительности.
Announcing Windows Server 2022—now in preview
Today we are announcing that Windows Server 2022 is now in preview, the next release in our Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC), which will be generally available later this calendar year. It builds on Windows Server 2019, our fastest adopted Windows Server ever. This release includes advanced multi-layer security, hybrid capabilities with Azure, and a flexible platform to modernize applications with containers.
Over the years, companies like Forever 21 and Sentara Healthcare have relied on Windows Server to run their business-critical workloads. A big thank you to all the members of the Windows Server community and our customers and partners for your support and feedback that inspired the innovation we built into this new release.
Advanced multi-layer security
With a growing number of cyber-security threats and the impact of incidents escalating quickly, security is a top priority for our customers. Windows Server 2022 includes new security capabilities like secured-core server and secure connectivity.
Secured-core server brings powerful threat protection together to provide multi-layer security across hardware, firmware, and the operating system. It uses the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 and System Guard to boot up Windows Server securely and minimize risk from firmware vulnerabilities. Secured-core server also includes virtualization-based security (VBS) features like Credential Guard and Hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI). Credential Guard provides preventative defense for sensitive assets like credentials, and HVCI applies hardware—rooted security to prevent advanced malware from tampering with the system.
Secured connectivity adds an additional layer of security during transport for advanced protection. Windows Server 2022 improves connection security with faster and more secure encrypted hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS) and transport layer security (TLS) 1.3 enabled by default. Customers can also further secure server communications with industry-standard AES-256 encryption, which now supports server message block (SMB) protocol and better controls.
Hybrid capabilities with Azure
We are bringing new capabilities that enable customers to take advantage of cloud innovation with their on-premises investments. Azure Arc and Storage Migration Service are two key hybrid capabilities that work best with Windows Server 2022.
Azure Arc enables customers to manage, secure, and govern Windows Server on-premises, at the edge, or in multi-cloud environments from a single control plane in Azure. Through Azure Arc, customers can easily employ Azure management capabilities such as Azure Policy, Azure Monitor, and Azure Defender for those servers. What’s more, a few simple clicks in Windows Admin Center can enable connectivity to Azure Arc. Further, we have enhanced Windows Admin Center v2103 with significantly improved virtual machine management, a simpler event viewer, and many more updates. Windows Admin Center is also available in the Azure portal.
Windows Server 2022 enhances the seamless connectivity of file servers on-premises to file servers on Azure. Updates to Storage Migration Service allow customers to migrate file servers from NetApp FAS to Windows Servers. Using Storage Migration Service to migrate data to servers allows customers to maintain low latency while reducing their on-premises storage footprint.
Flexible application platform
Customers use Windows Server to run large-scale and distributed applications. Consequently, we have placed relentless focus on bringing platform capabilities and tools that improve developer velocity and support for business-critical workloads like SQL Server.
In this release, we are adding several platform improvements for Windows Containers, including application compatibility and the Windows Container experience with Kubernetes. A major improvement includes reducing the Windows Container image size, which leads to faster download time and better performance. In addition, you can now run applications that depend on Azure Active Directory with group Managed Services Accounts (gMSA) without domain joining the container host. Furthermore, there are several other enhancements that simplify the Windows Container experience with Kubernetes. These enhancements include support for host-process containers for node configuration, IPv6, and consistent network policy implementation with Calico.
In addition to platform improvements, we have an updated Windows Admin Center tool that makes it easy to containerize .NET applications. Once the application is in a container, you can host it on Azure Container Registry to then deploy it to other Azure services, including Azure Kubernetes Service.
Windows Server 2022 supports business-critical and large-scale applications like SQL Server that require 48TB of memory and 2,048 logical cores running on 64 physical sockets.
