What's New for Windows in OpenStack Newton
Architectural Decisions

Windows support in OpenStack continues to improve with each release, with lots of new feature in Nova (Hyper-V), Neutron (including Open vSwitch and the new Windows Server 2016 network stack), Cinder, Manila, Designate, Cloudbase-Init and much more.  

The new Windows Server 2016 offers also a lot of new features that set Hyper-V as a front runner for enterprise workloads with OpenStack as its perfect match. During the session we will talk about the best strategies to include Windows as a first class citizen in an OpenStack cloud.
