Virtualization-Documentation

Content published to Virtualization documentation.

Place to store our documentation, code samples, etc for public consumption and contributions.

Contribute

To contribute, fork the project and submit a pull request! Here's our wishlist.

If you want to submit prospective content but contributing to public documentation takes too much time/planning, submit your idea or draft to the Prospective Docs folder and we'll figure it out from there.

Digging into the repo structure a little:

Virtualization -- Contribute docs here! --

This is a mirrored copy of the documentation available on Virtualization documentation.

The folder structure matched the URL structure for the website.

For example: Say you want to edit the user guide article for working with checkpoints.

Published location: Using checkpoints to revert virtual machines to a previous state

Doc location: virtualization/hyperv_on_windows/user_guide/checkpoints.md

If you add a screen shot or picture, put it in the media folder closest to the article you're contributing to. For the checkpoints user guide, that would be: virtualization/hyperv_on_windows/user_guide/media

Demos

Demos of Hyper-V. These are public scripts from various presentations and conferences.

Everything in here was made to present once. There are many egregious hacks. Don't use any of it in production.

*-samples

Walkthroughs and samples.

*-tools

Scripts to automate Hyper-V/Windows Container things.
