Hyper-V: Microsoft’s commercially supported Hypervisor
Microsoft Windows Server Platform: Microsoft’s Suite of Operating System and Management products
WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide management information and notification.
This specification covers Nova support for HyperV and Microsoft Window Server Platform through WMII.
Release Note -
Nova may now use HyperV or Windows Server Platform as a cloud platform.
Rationale -
Today, HyperV represents one of the fastest growing Hypervisors in market. User stories
Assumptions -
Users will need to get more detailed information on HyperV and WMI at the following links: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/hyperv-technical-resources.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394582(VS.85).aspx
Design -
In order to add WMI support, we propose that nova through Libvirt communicates with HyperV via WMI. Through this WMI interface, the main body of Nova can make virtualization calls without reference to any particular platform.
