OpenStack on Hyper-V
Communication
- Weekly meetings are held on Wednesdays at 13:00 UTC on Freenode in room #openstack-meeting-3
- The OpenStack mailing lists can also be used for communication. The [hyperv] tag should be included in email title.
- If you have any issues with the installer or code, please file a bug, or ask a question.
Code
- The current development is now integrated within the core projects including nova, neutron, cinder, ceilometer, networking-hyperv, os-win, os-vif, os-brick, designate, and others.
- We are currently tracking and preparing for the Pike milestones.
- Bug can be filed using the standard OpenStack practices.
OpenStack Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Evaluation is now available as a downloadable image that can be directly deployed to the following OpenStack-supported hypervisors:
- Hyper-V
- KVM
- XenServer / XCP
Note: This release has a specific Microsoft-provided EULA that must be accepted before download. This is an evaluation edition meant to be used in test environments only.
Getting Started
- Current documentation can be found here: https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/config-reference/compute/hypervisor-hyper-v.html
- An updated installer is available here: http://www.cloudbase.it/openstack/openstack-compute-installer/
- Installer options and documentation located here: http://www.cloudbase.it/hyper-v-nova-compute-installer-unattended-setup/
