Updated Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification

We have recently published a new version of the Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification for Windows Server 2012 R2 / Windows 8.1.  You can grab a copy here:

Now, when you first open this document and start looking through it – you are probably going to think to yourself “Good grief! This is much too detailed for me!”.  And yes, it is a very technical document.  It is essentially a guide to how to build your own virtualization solution on our hypervisor.  That said, a couple of times a year I direct people to read this document so they can get answers to questions such as:

• Can I discover the hypervisor version from inside the virtual machine?
• How are virtual processors actually scheduled by the hypervisor?
• How does the hypervisor handle machine check events?

There is a lot of good information in there – so I would recommend taking the time to read it through.

Cheers,
Ben
