So far in this chapter, we have completed and achieved many milestones to make our Hyper-V virtualized environment highly available and make it a part of the Hyper-V role. We also learned a great deal about building Windows Server high availability with Microsoft Clustering Services. You can use the same steps that we used to build the Hyper-V cluster for any other type of Windows Server failover cluster, which includes DHCP, SQL Server, IIS, SCVMM, and the list goes on and on.
