So the license was specifically given to Cloudbase to allow openstack users have a cloud init enabled Windows image to use for testing Windows workloads on OpenStack. This license applies to the Windows image not the Cloudbaseinit bits. This license is accepted before you download the image from thier site.
Using that image directly for production would violate the license you accepted before you download it. That being said, it is technically possible to relicense Windows with a DISM command accepting a new EULA and passing in a valid license. This command can even be run in the user data string of cloudinit. ;) P Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone -------- Original message -------- From: Brian Schott <[email protected]> Date: 05/31/2013 7:21 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Peter Pouliot <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected],Krishnaprasad Narayanan <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [Openstack] Remote access to the windows virtual machine Good catch. Is the license associated with the CloudInit port, or the particular image build, or an issue redistributing Windows? While testing our GRID K2 GPU under different hypervisors, we recently built OpenStack Windows images for kvm, xen, xenserver, and hyper-v using the straight windows installer from Windows evaluation ISOs, but they lacked the CloudInit package. We didn't bother with CloudInit for our testing, but down the road we will need to do that. What is the appropriate way to build a Windows guest image for bring-your-own-license deployments? — Sent from Mailbox<https://www.dropbox.com/mailbox> for iPad On Fri, May 31, 2013 at 5:51 PM, Peter Pouliot <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi All, Just to be clear, the Windows 2012 OpenStack Additional available via Cloudbase.it has a very specific license.

I don’t think we should specify it in the security groups as this is already taken care in the Windows firewall.

The VNC console access in Horizon is really intended for administrative/management access rather than production usage.

For all Stackers - I found this URI<http://www.cloudbase.it/ws2012/> useful where there is a Windows Server 2012 Evaluation image available for download and it can be directly deployed to OpenStack. I was able to download and deploy the image in our ESSEX cloud and create a VM successfully out of the image.
