Open Stack

The metadata settings on the images is important to inform KVM of the guest operating system. We’ve put our experiences with a recent issue at https://openstack-in-production.blogspot.ch/2017/02/ostype-property-for-windows-images-on.html

Hello,

Its not really OpenStack related but it depends on your virtualization stack.
Assuming its OpenStack with KVM:

Note that you might have some interesting times with the licensing.
From what I have understood (I am not a license specialist so take this with a pile of salt):
You must have a Windows (datacenter?) license per hypervisor that can potentially run Windows instances.

Cheers,
Robert
