Host Resource Protection

Being able to identify a VM that is not behaving properly and consuming more host resources than it should is a challenging task. You can certainly monitor resource utilization and react to a misbehaving VM. However, proactively managing VMs at scale will prove to be a very demanding task.

This is where Host Resource Protection comes in. This feature helps to prevent a VM from using more than its share of system resources, by looking for excessive levels of activity and throttling back this misbehaving VM to lessen the impact. This monitoring and enforcement is switched off by default, and can be enabled by using Windows PowerShell.

Getting ready

Host Resource Protection is configured on the Windows Server 2016 Hyper-V host, and simply requires a VM, running either a Windows or Linux operating system, to monitor.
