Agenda
To provide and overview of functionality available within the OpenStack ecosystem for Microsoft Technologies.
Provide an overview of technologies that may enhance your experience with Windows and OpenStack.
Give a high level overview of the OpenStack Continuous Integration for Hyper-V.
Provide a sneak peak into what’s brewing in the next two releases for OpenStack and Microsoft technologies.
IceHouse Goals
Continuous Integration Establish a CI infrastructure that responds to upstream
commits
Stability Maintain parity and stability within current OpenStack
projects
OpenVSwitch for Hyper-V Enable Vswitch interoperability between Windows and
KVM through OpenVswitch
Nova Compute
Python stack runs natively on the Windows Platform
Windows 8, 8.1 (Dev Only)/ Hyper-V/Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012R2(Havana+)
Near feature parity with KVM
Hyper-V Native features like shared nothing live migration
MSIs: Full integration with all necessary components for the best possible OpenStack experience expected by Windows Users and Cloud Administrators.

Horizon/FreeRDP Web Connect
Seamlessly integrated RDP support in Icehouse, on both Nova and Horizon.
Specify the url of your FreeRDP-WebConnect service in the Hyper-V Nova compute nodes as detailed below and restart the nova-compute service. http://www.cloudbase.it/freerdp-html5-proxy-windows/
This is direct access of Guest console through Hyper-V
Runs on Most recent Windows or Linux. https://github.com/cloudbase/FreeRDP-WebConnect
MSI installer also available: https://www.cloudbase.it/downloads/FreeRDPWebConnect_Beta.ms
Nova Continous Integration
Came alive in mid January 2014
Built and maintained by a small team of highly skilled engineers
Undercloud of KVM on Centos providing virtualized Ubuntu Devstack Controllers
Two Physical Hyper-V nodes per Controller dynamically assembled
All layers automated through native operating system tools, puppet, or shell scripting.
Executes a Tempest run for every upstream commit
Automation and Scripts: https://github.com/openstack-hyper-v

Neutron
Icehouse focuse on stability to Neutron Hyper-V driver code
Addition of Continuous Integration for the Hyper-V driver and Neutron code.
CI: Nested Networking tests network functionality up to VLAN encapsulation with the existing Hyper-V Driver.
Fully integrated configuration and installation built into the Hyper-v Nova compute driver.
OpenVSwitch for Hyper-V!!!!!!!!!!
OpenVSwitch for Hyper-V
http://www.cloudbase.it/open-vswitch-on-hyper-v/
Apache 2.0 Licensed and publicly available
User Space: https://github.com/cloudbase/openvswitch-hyperv Kernel Driver: https://github.com/cloudbase/openvswitch-hyperv-kernel
All Open vSwitch userspace tools and daemons (e.g. ovs-vsctl, ovs-vswitchd) run natively on Windows or Hyper-V server.
OVSDB database
Newly developed Hyper-V virtual switch forwarding extension Provides the same set of tools available on Linux with a seamless
integration in the Hyper-V networking model
Fully interoperable GRE and VXLAN encapsulation.
OpenVSwitch for Hyper-V
MSI installer that takes care of installing all the required Windows services for the obsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd daemons
Supports fully automated installation and wrapping in your favorite DevOps tools set.

Juno Panshttps://etherpad.openstack.org/p/nova-hyperv-juno
Nova and Cinder SMB3 integration
Nova x509 based Windows password-less authentication
http://www.cloudbase.it/windows-without-passwords-in-openstack/
Generation 2 VMs
Nova serial console
Nova soft reboot
Nova host power actions
Juno Part 2
Nova SMB shared storage
This is like NFS shared instance storage in libvirt
Nova / Neutron Hyper-V SR-IOV pass-through
Nova Hyper-V clustering support
Ironic Hyper-V integration
Juno Part 3
Nova rescue
Nova RemoteFX support
Proposed in Havana
GPU shares assigned to VMs for specific GFX optimization, VDI use case - not GPU computation
share is based on the amount of video memory
Finite resource, requested via the flavor and require scheduler knowledge of the resource
GPU support for DirectX11 required on the host
