Hi,
We are currently trying to find out more information about HyperV with deduplication. The information we found so far that appears the most recent from Microsoft under this article https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/data-deduplication/install-enable
Workloads advertised by Microsoft as recommended does not include using deduplication with HyperV running regular virtual machines but rather running Virtual desktop infrastructure.
It appears from all articles we have read on internet that most people have tried deduplication on regular virtual machines in a LAB environment but not in production.
We wanted to find out if scenario we are looking for which is using deduplication with HyperV (2016) (standalone or cluster) with regular virtual machine (Not VDI) is supported by Microsoft or not and if yes is there an article that speaks to that directly.
As you will find in URL I posted above under "Install and enable Data deduplication" the choices for configuration are 3 only that do not specify use for a HyperV with regular virtual machines.
General purpose file server
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI) server
Virtualized Backup Server
Appreciate any response if you happen to have a recent link from Microsoft or any 3rd party that may address our scenario here or a feedback if you have had experience in such scenario.
Thank you,
