Windows Server with Azure Local
Azure Local is built on Hyper-V technology. When migrating workloads to Azure Local using an Integrated or Validated System, they are moved to a Hyper-V-based infrastructure. Through this path, workloads are accessed via Azure Local. Another option is to carry out the migration via Windows Server (Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Edition, or higher).
Software defined storage (SDS)-functionality
With Storage Spaces Direct, multiple servers work together to create a shared, scalable, and highly available storage system for hosting virtual machines. This provides a flexible and efficient storage solution for Azure Stack HCI deployments based on Windows Server. With this approach, organizations can take advantage of shared storage resources that offer redundancy and high availability for their workloads.
Even in the Windows Server option of Azure, the management of virtual machines (VMs) is supported by Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) technology, which is part of the software-defined storage (SDS) functionality. This support also applies to both Integrated and Validated Systems.
