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>

It looks like progress is being made on porting these templates to
HOT:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates/blob/master/iis/iis_drupal7_webpi.yaml">https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates/blob/master/iis/iis_drupal7_webpi.yaml</a><br>
<br>
To further this process I would suggest the following:<br>
*
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates/blob/master/iis/iis_drupal7_webpi.yaml#L73">https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates/blob/master/iis/iis_drupal7_webpi.yaml#L73</a>
This powershell should really be put in a separate file and included
with {get_file: iis_drupal7_webpi.ps1}<br>
*
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates/blob/master/iis/iis_drupal7_webpi.yaml#L69">https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates/blob/master/iis/iis_drupal7_webpi.yaml#L69</a>
setting user_data_format: RAW will stop heat from adding unnecessary
files to the multipart-mime<br>
* Consider adopting this pattern for cloudbase-init configuration
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config/example-cloud-init.yaml">http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/heat-templates/tree/hot/software-config/example-cloud-init.yaml</a><br>
Which is to specify a OS::Heat::SoftwareConfig resource for each
powershell script (also using get_file), then use a
OS::Heat::MultipartMime to combine multiple powershell scripts into
a single configuration packet (I'm assuming cloudbase-init supports
multipart-mime)

There’s also a BP for that <a moz-do-not-send="true"

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

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>

So I'm all for heat-cfntools being ported to windows, and would
happily review those patches. However a port of os-collect-config,
os-apply-config and os-refresh-config[1] might be the most expedient
way of being able to configure with powershell throughout the
lifecycle of a windows server (not just boot config).<br>
<br>
It would be great if it was possible to have the powershell
equivalent of this
