[Openstack-operators] How do you manage your windows instances

Hi Razique,

You can use the Windows cloudinit to set an admin password among other
things (https://github.com/cloudbase/cloudbase-init).

Recovery - use the VNC console and troubleshoot Windows boot problems as
normal

Disk attachment - it's not any different than any hot-pluggable device, so
the users have to learn how to use it

Updates - major updates (SP) should be incorporated in new versions of the
provided baselines, but for day to day instance OS patch and management, the
users are responsible

Hope this helps,
George

Hi guys, 
how do you manage the following items : 
	. User password (do you know if it's possible to configure the
instance so once the user spawn it for the first time, the user is asked to
change his password)
	. Recovery  (do you have any way to debug your customers's
instances, how do you connect to them (same applies for Linux-based images
actually))
	. Disk attachment (are your customers aware they need to go to the
disk manager after they added a disk if they want to start to use it?
	. Updates (Are the updates managed by your user,or do you regularly
update your images?

Thank you!
Razique
