A consultant is setting up a new Hyper-V cluster.

The customer's requirements for automatic failover and resource balancing in a new Hyper-V cluster can be met with the use of Failover Clustering and High Availability. Failover Clustering allows VMs to automatically failover to another host in the event of a host failure, fulfilling the requirement for resilience. High Availability ensures that VMs restart on available hardware in the cluster, maintaining service continuity and balancing CPU and memory resources across the hosts.References: Microsoft Hyper-V documentation, Nutanix Bible, and NCS-Core 6.8 course materials on virtualization platforms.
