[openstack-dev] Heat Windows templates contribution

Sysprep is independent from the Heat templates. Generally providing a sysprepped (and generalized) Windows image in Glance is the best solution.
The Cloudbase-Init installer offers an option to run it [1] and our automated OpenStack image building scripts do the same [2].
The official Windows Server R2 Evaluation OpenStack images come already sysprepped as well [3].

Does sysprep work in this template?

主题: [openstack-dev] Heat Windows templates contribution

Hi all,

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:
https://github.com/cloudbase/windows-heat-templates

There’s also a BP for that https://blueprints.launchpad.net/heat/+spec/windows-instances and a document discussing the critical Windows integration areas (linked in the BP): http://wiki.cloudbase.it/heat-windows

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.

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.


Thanks!

Alessandro
