Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) has gained popularity for the simplicity of deployment and management. For those in the Hyper-V world, HCI is consumed via Azure Stack HCI. The good news here is that Microsoft has continued to pour features into Azure Stack HCI. Features like support for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) enable a flexible hybrid cloud experience. On the hardware side, Intel’s 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable release means a generous performance boost for Azure Stack HCI nodes.
