Windows and Heat As OpenStack is gaining traction in the enterprise world, the number of users asking for Microsoft Windows instances support is progressively increasing with a fast pace. Most of the tools involved traditionally in OpenStack guest provisioning and orchestration are Linux specific and need to be ported, integrated or replaced with other alternatives in order to support Windows guests.

GRUB2 currently uses PIT to calculate time. This fails on Generation 2 Hyper-V virtual machines and any request for a file on a tftp server made by grubnetx64.efi will fail instantly due to timeout. For your convenience you can [download an already patched version here] Compile grub with EFI SetTimer()

Writing Juju Charms for Windows Rules * Charms are self contained. Under no circumstances should they have any missing pieces or require the user to manually include anything for them to work * Master branch of any charm is holy ground. If a piece of code gets in, it is expected to work without any issues.

Running Juju-Core tests on Windows Installing a base Windows system First we need to install a Windows machine, obviously. A very light weight windows version (and free) can be found at this link. You may need to register first, but that's free and mostly painless. You can install this version of Windows on top of KVM using any ubuntu version >= Ubuntu 14.04. Installation steps are simple, just follow the wizard.

Install Ubuntu 12.04 on NUC When installing Ubuntu precise on the intel NUCs, via MaaS, you must modify the preseed to install a newer kernel. By default the kernel used is linux-server, which is a meta-package that installs version 3.2.0. In order to change the preseed on a development box, log into your MaaS server and do the following (we will assume that you are using the ubuntu user):
