I am looking forward to the announcement of Windows Server vNext. Thank you for the opportunity to clarify something that I've been curious about. Here are my questions.
- I believe that Hotpatching is one of the key features. Are there any other standout features? Could you tell me about the sales message for Windows Server vNext like the Secured-core Servers in Windows Server 2022?
- My understanding is that Hotpatching requires Azure Arc. Are there any other new features that cannot be used without Azure Arc?

MicrosoftI recommend watching this presentation that Jeff and I did at Ignite, we do a rundown of the new features coming in the next release of Windows Server.

We are happy here in this AMA to speak to any questions you have on any of them :-)
Thanks!

- Thank you for your answer. How about second question? My understanding is that Hotpatching requires Azure Arc. Are there any other new features that cannot be used without Azure Arc?
- Elden_ChristensenYes, so Hotpatching will expand to all editions (beyond just Azure Edition that it's available in today). The new Pay-as-you-go (PayGo), which is a new way to purchase Windows Server as a subscription, which will also require Arc (as it's billed through Azure commerce). Stay tuned for more... Thanks!
