I'm looking at deploying a new MID server (in AWS) and was trying to find any documentation that might be able to guide me in terms of using Windows Server 2022 in GUI mode or in Core mode. I'd like to use Server Core if possible, but looking for some advice/articles that might tell me to stay away from core if it's not supported, or might reduce some capabilities.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
P.S. Copilot says it's not recommended, and Google says, yes, it's recommended. And I'm not finding anything (yet) on Support articles, or SN community.

@SANDEEP DUTTA Thank you for the quick reply! I did actually watch that very same video this morning already, and he didn't seem to make any reference to Server Core at all. Just the normal Windows Server 2022 install in the video. Hoping to see/hear something that tells me "Yeah, don't use core" or "yeah sure, it works fine, and has full functionality running the MID server on a Core (CLI only) Windows Server 2022."
Have you seen any articles, or videos about that?
Thank you!

It should be okay. Make sure that hardware software requirements are okay. Look into
