Monday, October 24, 2016
Posted by Amruta Gulanikar, Product Manager
The
Google Cloud Platform
(GCP) team is working hard to make GCP the best environment to run enterprise Windows workloads. To that end, we're happy to announce support for
Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition
, the latest version of Microsoft’s server operating system, on
Google Compute Engine
. Starting this week, you can launch instances with
Google Compute Engine VM images with Microsoft Windows Server 2016 preinstalled
. In addition, we now also support images for
Microsoft SQL Server
2016 with Windows Server 2016. Specifically, we now support the following versions in GA:
Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition
SQL Server Standard 2016 with Windows Server 2016
SQL Server Web 2016 with Windows Server 2016
SQL Server Express 2016 with Windows Server 2016
SQL Server Standard (2012, 2014, 2016) with Windows Server 2012 R2
SQL Server Web (2012, 2014, 2016) with Windows Server 2012 R2
SQL Server Express (2012, 2014, 2016) with Windows Server 2012 R2
and coming soon, SQL Server Enterprise (2012, 2014, 2016) with Windows Server (2012, 2016)
Enterprise customers can leverage Windows Server 2016’s advanced multi-layer security, powerful storage and management capabilities and support for Windows containers. Windows runs on Google’s world-class infrastructure, with dramatic
price-to-performance advantages
,
customizable VM sizes
, and state-of-the-art
networking
and
security
capabilities. In addition,
pricing
for Windows Server 2016 and SQL Server 2016 remains the same as previous versions of both products.
Getting started

Cloud Launcher

The team is continuing the momentum for Windows on GCP since we announced comprehensive
.NET developer solutions
back in August, including a
.NET client library
for all Cloud Platform APIs available through
NuGet
. The Cloud Platform team has hand-authored libraries for Cloud Platform APIs available as open source projects on GitHub to which the community continues to collaborate and add features.
