To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, I recommend deploying this book's lab environment, which consists of the following:

• A Domain Controller/Router/Certificate Authority (recipes requiring Active Directory)
• Three file servers (SOFS and S2D recipes)
• Two Hyper-V hosts (Hyper-V and clustering recipes)
• A web server (IIS recipes) with SQL
• A CentOS 7.4 node (Linux recipes)

Should you decide to use your own infrastructure, please adapt the server names used in the recipes!
