The Server Core option is a minimal installation option that is available when you are deploying the Standard or Datacenter edition of Windows Server.
Server Core includes most but not all server roles. Server Core has a smaller disk footprint, and therefore a smaller attack surface due to a smaller code base. When you install Windows Server, you install only the server roles that you choose - this helps reduce the overall footprint for Windows Server.
However, the Server with Desktop Experience installation option still installs many services and other components that are often not needed for a particular usage scenario. That's where Server Core comes into play: the Server Core installation eliminates any services and other features that are not essential for the support of certain commonly used server roles.

Customers who have covered all the underlying cores of the physical server with Windows Server Datacenter licenses should buy Extended Security Updates for the number of physical cores, irrespective of the number of VMs running on that physical server. Customers who have covered all the underlying cores of the physical server with Windows Server Standard licenses should buy Extended Security Updates for the number of physical cores, but will only be licensed to run and update two virtual machines on the server.
Customers who wish to run and update more than two virtual machines on a server licensed with Windows Server Standard must re-license all of the physical cores on the server with both Windows Server Standard and Extended Security Updates for each additional pair of virtual machines.
Microsoft will only produce updates which can be applied on the latest Service Pack.
