Azure Edition preview 26257

Microsoft just released the Windows Server Datacenter: Azure Edition preview build 26257. This fresh preview build is made particularly for the Azure setting. Yes, it’s adjusted to work well and effectively in the cloud. If you’re wondering how to access it, then know that you can get hold of it through the Microsoft Server Operating Systems Preview offer in Azure.

Build 26257 has some optimization for Azure. It has been made to utilize the advantages of cloud computing at its best; thus, it suits individuals using or planning to use Azure for their server requirements well.

However, there is a small bump – the release of the Core version for this build is late. The team is doing their best to fix this issue, and they assure us that the Core version will be released as soon as possible. It’s just a tiny problem, but they are handling it.

If you are a technical person or want to know more details, the official changelog for the Azure Edition preview build 26257 has enough information. You can also visit Microsoft Docs and see the Preview: Windows Server VNext Datacenter (Azure Edition) for Azure Automanage.
