Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following up to various conversations during the Icehouse cycle, we’d like to contribute the Heat templates work that we did at Cloudbase, partly available at:</div>

There’s also a BP for that <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/windows-instances" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/windows-instances</a> and a document discussing the critical Windows integration
areas (linked in the BP): <a href="http://wiki.cloudbase.it/heat-windows" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">http://wiki.cloudbase.it/heat-windows</a></div>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">
I’m sending this now so that if anybody is interested on the topic we can start some discussions before heading to Atlanta’s design sessions.</div>

At the current stage we are running templates of any size and type on Havana and Icehouse without problems with Cloudbase-Init, so there are no particular blocking issues, but it’d be great to have a community discussion about what to do with the CFN tools
porting on Windows for example and how to make the Heat produced Nova userdata metadata less Linux dependent.</div>
