What’s new with Hyper-V 2016 Shielded VMs

Posted on January 28, 2018

What shielded VMs ensures that Hyper-V administrators do not have the ability to alter and/or view the VM settings/data/contents, unless specified. This is great for environments, ie. Banks/Financial Institutions, Governments, Education, etc. environments to ensure their data is protected, even from the ones that administer their environments.

There are a few catches:

  • VM must be a Gen-2 (Generation 2)
  • VM must be Windows Server 2012 or higher, or
  • VM must be Windows 8 or higher

When creating the VM, the shielded VM has a virtual TPM (Trusted Platform Module) assigned and BitLocker encryption is applied to only allow designated owners to access the VM. The shielded VM will not run unless the Hyper-V host is on the Host Guardian Server. All of the VMs data and state information is encrypted, and cannot be accessed.

For more information on Shielded VMs, please visit Microsoft’s post HERE.
