Hi Community,

The first release of Murano - Windows DataCenter as a Service
implementation for OpenStack is published. A distribution package is
available on Launchpad. From the functionality standpoint it has all the
features targeted for 0.1 version.

The key features are:

   -

   Active Directory Service roll-out. Deploys multiple Domain Controllers
   per Active Directory Domain.
   -

   IIS Server Instance. Provisions a Windows Server 2012 VM with IIS
   service installed. The machine could be automatically added to the domain
   if AD Service is configured in the environment.
   -

   IIS Cluster. Provisions multiple Windows VMs with IIS which are added to
   LoadBalancer (HAProxy instance).
   -

   ASP. NET application. Provisions IIS Instance or IIS Cluster and
   installs ASP.NET application from a git repository to all IIS instances.


During last  two weeks Murano team worked on bug fixing, release
stabilization and documentation update.

[Openstack] Announcing Murano OpenStack project

2013-04-30 Thread Georgy Okrokvertskhov 
At Mirantis within our customer and partner base we see growing demand to
deploy and run Windows based applications on OpenStack cloud. Today we are
pleased to announce the forthcoming Murano project, which is designed to
ease this process.  The main goal of this initiative is to create a native
OpenStack component that enables fast provisioning and operation of Windows
Environments on demand.
