If you don’t plan to deploy it in a production environment, I suggest you to create an Ubuntu Server 12.04 VM in Hyper-V or elsewhere with a DevStack deployment. We are going to install on Hyper-V only the OpenStack Compute role, so you’ll need to run the other required roles on separate hosts or VMs. As an example you can run it in a VM on top of VMWare Workstation 9, Fusion 5 or ESXi 5. ![]() If you want to see how Hyper-V works with OpenStack but you don’t have a server or PC on which to install it, well you can even run it on top of another hypervisor (for test purposes only, this is of course TOTALLY unsupported). There’s no difference in features or performance compared to the full Windows Server.It runs a very limited subset of the Windows Server operating system, which means that it has a lower impact on security updates and management.We suggest to use the free Hyper-V Server edition instead of Windows Server for a few reasons: ![]() To begin, all you need is an installation of the Microsoft free Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 or 2012 or as an alternative Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 with the Hyper-V role enabled. The result is the installer that I’m going to present in this post, I have to admit that we are quite proud of it □ One of our goals was being able to install and configure Nova compute on Hyper-V in the simplest possible way, using a nice and tidy GUI for the occasional deployment or an automated and unattended mode for deployments on a massive number of servers. We are currently working on a lot of cool features to be released in time for Grizzly, so stay tuned! ![]() We did a lot of work this year on OpenStack and Hyper-V integration, with the result of bringing back Hyper-V in the Nova sources in time for the Folsom release.
