We continue to share insights about working on virtual servers with Windows Server 2019 Core. In previous posts, we discussed , that over the past three years, the company has spent $30 billion on expanding its data center network. Since then, this figure has only increased.<\/a><\/noindex> how we prepare client virtual machines using our new plan VDS Ultralight<\/a><\/noindex> with Server Core for 99 rubles. Next, have shown<\/a><\/noindex> we'll cover how to work with Windows Server 2019 Core and how to install a GUI on it.<\/p>\n

In this article, we have added specific programs and provided a table of their compatibility with Windows Server Core.<\/p>\n

\nThis edition lacks DirectX rendering, completely missing hardware encoding and decoding systems; video plays successfully in Google Chrome on the CPU, but without sound, and sound processing systems are absent in the Core version.<\/p>\n

Footprint<\/h2>\n

\nFor example, let's take the ready-made Windows Server images that we prepared like this article <\/a><\/noindex>and look at resource consumption. The size of the swap file depends on the amount of installed RAM, which is why it was removed for this comparison, to understand how much the system itself occupies.<\/p>\n

Such a small volume was achieved through the manipulations we listed in this article<\/a><\/noindex>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nNow, the RAM consumption is:<\/p>\n

\n
\nWindows Server 2019 CORE with Feature on Demand installed, how to install it we discussed in the previous<\/a><\/noindex> time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notes from personal experience<\/h2>\n

\nRegarding real-world operation, over more than six months of usage and, importantly, regular monthly updates, the operating system was rebooted only once, while during the same period Windows Server 2019 with GUI was rebooted every month.<\/p>\n

The only reboot was needed due to .NET 4.7 updates; if you want to avoid unnecessary reboots, simply remove unnecessary components.<\/p>\n
