<div>Actually images for those hypervisors should already be on the Cloudbase site and I encourage you to use those. </div>

<div>I have some puppet modules that are still work in progress for automating the Windows adk and deployment process. But you are more than welcome to check them out. </div>

<div>This builds a fresh winpe image and files necessary to Pxe on a Windows instance via the adk dynamically. </div>

<div>
<div>Good catch. Is the license associated with the CloudInit port, or the particular image build, or an issue redistributing Windows?</div>
<div>
<div id="mb"> </div>
</div>
While testing our GRID K2 GPU under different hypervisors, we recently built OpenStack Windows images for kvm, xen, xenserver, and hyper-v using the straight windows installer from Windows evaluation ISOs, but they lacked the CloudInit package. We didn't bother
with CloudInit for our testing, but down the road we will need to do that.
<div><br>

<div id="mb"><span style="">What is the appropriate way to build a Windows guest image for bring-your-own-license deployments?</span></div>
