We just release a new project for initializing Windows cloud instances on OpenStack:
http://www.cloudbase.it/cloud-init-for-windows-instances/ Some quick facts about it: • Supports HTTP and ConfigDriveV2 metadata sources • Provides out the box: user creation, password injection, static networking configuration, hostname, SSH public keys and userdata scripts (Powershell, Cmd or Bash) • It’s highly modular and can be easily extended to provide support for more features and metadata sources. • Works on any hypervisor (Hyper-V, KVM, Xen, etc) • Works on Windows Server 2003 / 2003 R2 / 2008 / 2008 R2 / 2012 and Windows 7 and 8. • It’s platform independent, meaning that we plan to add other OSs, e.g.: FreeBSD • Written in Python • Open source, Apache 2 licensed: https://github.com/alexpilotti/cloudbase-init It's currently in beta status, we are looking for help to test it on various hypervisor / guest combinations. I'd be glad to answer any question (and fix any bug)! :-) We did most of our testing so far on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 using ConfigDriveV2 metadata on Grizzly, but we plan to add more platforms to the tests soon.
