The Windows Server 2019 is a leap over the 2016 version when it comes to security. While the 2016 version was based on the use of shielded VMs, the 2019 version offers extra support to run Linux VMs. In addition, the 2019 version is based on the protect, detect and respond approach to security.
The improvements include: Privileged access management. Extending cloud capabilities to Windows 10 devices through Azure Active Directory Join. Connecting domain-joined devices to Azure AD for Windows 10 experiences.
It will take you about two months to learn the basics of Windows Server so that you can list it as a skill on your resume.

Advantages and Benefits of Active Directory Centralized resources and security administration. Single logon for access to global resources. Simplified resource location.
These objects typically include shared resources such as servers, volumes, printers, and the network user and computer accounts.

Until now, Nano Server only supported the roles of Hyper-V and Scale-Out File Server (SOFS). The new preview now adds support for DNS server and IIS. The following were also added:
Windows Server Containers were added in Technical Preview 3, and in the latest preview, we get our first glimpse at Hyper-V Containers, where each container is encapsulated in a Hyper-V child partition with a stripped down and optimized operating system, featuring a dedicated kernel for secure isolation.
The most interesting addition to Hyper-V is Discrete Device Assignment. The concept, is much like SR-IOV, where a Hyper-V virtual machine connects to a physical NIC instead of the virtual switch for performance reasons. But unlike SR-IOV, Discrete Device Assignment allows virtual machines to connect to PCI Express (PCIe) devices in the host.
Quite a bit has changed in Storage Spaces Direct. Welcome to what I’m calling RAID 3D. When you implement disk resiliency for virtualization, you lose a lot of potential storage space. Microsoft is introducing Multi-Resilient Virtual Disks in S2D.

IIS Media Services is a collection of plugins including the Smooth Streaming and Bitrate Throttling plugins.
We are adding Windows Media Services in the review below as It is older than the others but has the same lifecycle as IIS Media Services. We provide the following information when a request is sent asking for streaming media best practices:
Even though IIS Media Services installs on Windows Server 2012, from a lifecycle perspective it is considered a component of IIS 7.0. IIS 7.0 is a component of both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 and follows their lifecycle. This means mainstream support ended 1/13/2015. Extended support ends 1/14/2020.
Azure Media Services allows you to encode, protect, and stream content from the cloud. You can get a one-month free trial to experiment with it at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/.
