The audience for this operations guide includes systems administrators, systems engineers, field consultants, partner engineering team members, and customers with a fair amount of knowledge in deploying hyperconverged infrastructures with Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022, the Azure Stack HCI operating system, Hyper-V, and Storage Spaces Direct. We assume that deployment personnel have prerequisite knowledge, including:
