Hi Jay,

Windows support in Heat is being developed, but is not complete yet, afaik.
You may already use Cloudbase Init to do the post-deploy actions on windows
- check [1] for the details.

Meanwhile, running a windows cluster is a much more complicated task then
just deploying a number of windows instances (if I understand you correctly
and you speak about Microsoft Failover Cluster, see [2]): to build it in
the cloud you will have to execute quite a complex workflow after the nodes
are actually deployed, which is not possible with Heat (at least for now).

Murano project ([3]) does this on top of Heat, as it was initially designed
as Windows Data Center as a Service, so I suggest you too take a look at
it. You may also check this video ([4]) which demonstrates how Murano is
used to deploy a failover cluster of Windows 2012 with a clustered MS SQL
server on top of it.
