Disable or Enable Firewall on Hyper-V

To disable the firewall in the currently running profile, you can issue the command:
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state off

And re-enable with:
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state on

Note: If your Hyper-V is internet facing, disabling the firewall is not recommended.

What does 99% uptime mean in real life

If your site’s uptime is:
99% – it’s down 3 days, 15 hours, 36 minutes
99.9% – it’s down 8 hours, 45 minutes, 36 seconds
99.99% – it’s down 52 minutes, 33 seconds
99.999% – it’s down 5 minutes, 15 seconds
99.9999% – it’s down 31 seconds
a year. Pretty interesting…
