I am using Oracle VirtualBox for ubuntu guest virtual servers on windows server 2008 R2. I'm in a plan to migrate(stop using virtualbox) from VirtualBox to Hyper-V. I guess many are using hyper-v virtualization and have good control over it and could help me here in clarifying few things. The reason I use Virtualbox is it's open source and the reason for migrating is that if hyper-v support any additional feature which virtualbox doesn't(and I couldn't migrate VBox vms along with all the snapshots). I have following questions to get it clarified.
- Does hyper-v require any licence or is limited to running particular number of virtual machines?.
- Is hyper-v capable to export/import VMs along with all the snapshots?
- Is it possible to run HeadLess VMs like it's done with VirtualBox?
- Does hyper-v recognize VDI/VMDK?
Anybody can suggest me anything?. Thanks!
