Interesting specification going through Nova at the moment https://review.openstack.org/#/c/105034/

 

In short, it provides a mechanism to authenticate with Windows compute instances that's similar in look and feel to the way we use
SSH keys for Linux instances.

 

Would be good to get some OSSG eyes on it, I'm not very familiar with this method of windows authentication but it looks smart.
