Support for licensed images within Openstack has some unique issues which need to be resolved. Licensed images need to be identifiable when downloaded from Glance. Snapshots of licensed images must maintain their licensed identity. Scheduling of licensed images needs to balance license fee requirements with user experience requirements. Billing for licensed images needs to track appropriate license information. Windows images also have unique requirements for handling security, license key activation and other cloud-init like functionality. This discussion will revolve around solutions to these issues within Glance and Nova with an additional emphasis on issues unique to supporting Microsoft Windows instances.
