This topic details what Eucalyptus needs in order to use Windows as a guest operating
system.
- A licensed installation copy (.iso image or CD/DVD disk) of a compatible Windows OS.
Eucalyptus currently supports Windows virtual machines created from Windows Server
2008 SP2, Datacenter (32/64 bit); Windows Server 2008 R2, Datacenter; and Windows 7
Professional.
- A VNC client such as RealVNC or Virtual Manager/Virtual Viewer
for initial installation. Subsequent Eucalyptus-hosted Windows
instances will use RDP, but the initial installation requires
VNC.
