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.
