We look at how Windows Charms can integrate seamlessly with existing Juju Charms to provide a powerful way to reduce workload deployments from days to minutes on both bare metal and public or private clouds. We also cover the benefits of Microsoft on OpenStack, Hyper-V integration and Microsoft’s support of Hyper-V in OpenStack. Canonical’s award-winning model-driven operations system Juju enables reusable, open source operations across hybrid cloud and physical infrastructure. Integration and operations are encoded in “charms” by vendors and the community of experts familiar with an app. These charms are reused by ops teams as standardised operations code that evolves along with the software itself. Our partner Cloudbase has created many Windows charms to take advantage of the benefits Juju has to offer. ## Webinar Details **Title:** Deploying Microsoft technologies on OpenStack **Presented By:** Alessandro Pilotti, CEO Cloudbase Solution and Mark Baker, Ubuntu Server and Cloud Product Manager at Canonical. **Time/Date:** available now on-demand ## Watch this on-demand webinar to learn… * How to use Windows and Juju * Recognizing the value of integrating these technologies into OpenStack * Learn about the type of Windows workloads available with Juju [Watch on Demand](http://ubunt.eu/tm8yrr) ## Sign up for our newsletter Get the latest Canonical news and updates in your inbox.
