Best Practice for Hyper-V Cluster & Networking: Windows Admin Center vs SCVMM (Considering Network ATC)
Hi Everyone,
I am currently planning to build a Hyper-V failover cluster and would like to follow the best-practice approach for cluster creation and host networking. While reviewing Microsoft documentation, I noticed that Microsoft now recommends using Network ATC (Intent-Based Networking) for configuring Hyper-V networking.
From my understanding, Network ATC is only supported through Windows Admin Center (WAC) and is not supported in SCVMM.
Given this, I would appreciate guidance on the following points:
What is the current best practice for creating Hyper-V clusters—Windows Admin Center or SCVMM?
Since Network ATC is the recommended approach for modern Hyper-V networking, does this mean WAC is now the preferred tool?
Are there limitations using WAC for cluster creation compared to SCVMM, especially for larger production environments?
Is SCVMM still recommended for lifecycle management, or is Microsoft shifting more toward WAC + Network ATC?
Any official Microsoft documentation comparing WAC + Network ATC vs SCVMM for cluster networking?
I want to ensure that the cluster is deployed using Microsoft’s recommended and future-proof method, especially with Network ATC becoming the standard for Hyper-V networking.
Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
