WSL 2 and Hyper-V Server 2022

Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 and Hyper-V Server 2022

Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 is a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables natively on Windows Server 2022. WSL Version 2 introduces changes in the architecture. Microsoft has opted for virtualization through a highly optimized subset of Hyper-V features, in order to run the kernel and distributions (based upon the kernel), promising performance equivalent to WSL 1. For backward compatibility, developers don't need to change anything in their published distributions. WSL 2 settings can be tweaked by the WSL global configuration, contained in an INI file named .wslconfig in the User Profile folder.

Virtualization technologies, or platforms, are more commonly referred to as hypervisors. There are several different hypervisors on the market Hyper V is Microsoft's version. Some others that are well-known are VMWare ESXi and VSphere, XenServer (Citrix), KVM Open Source Hypervisor, RHEV (Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization), VirtualBox and other types of Virtual Server. With Hyper-V running on Azure, you are now able to replicate Hyper-V virtual machines you have on prem to HyperV running on Azure. This provides full disaster recovery and a backup solution to your physical sites. Create isolated environments using Hyper V, great for Dev/Test environments. You also have the option to create a NAT and give network access to your current Azure VMs to your Hyper-V Nested VMs.
