Hi Marty,

Everything you listed looks good.

You can add qemu-guest-agent if you plan to take storage-based instance 
snapshots   
https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/virtual_machines.html#storage-based-instance-snapshots-on-kvm

You can skip SR-IOV driver as there is no support for SR-IOV with KVM in 
Cloudstack AFAIK

Thanks
Prashanth

Subject: KVM Drivers for Windows VMs

Hello,

I am creating my template for KVM for Windows, and I wanted to ask about the 
virt drivers.

I know I need to add things like the local disk drivers, balloon driver, NIC, 
etc. But what else should be included? Should I add the SR-IOV driver? The 
guest-agent?

This is my first KVM cluster. I appreciate the guidance.

Marty
