I already have my Azure based HPC PoC and I am using warewolf provisioning tool. Come across an issue trying to set up PXE boot to provision nodes. Found out that azure does not support PXE boot on its virtual machines. I have read of work-arounds and one of them was to set up nested hyper-v VMs. Has anybody successfully done this ?

The current Docker image for the Warewolf application is based on Windows Server 2019 (ltsc2019) with the following characteristics:

• OS Version: 10.0.17763.6659

• Architecture: amd64

• Image Size (Uncompressed): ~7.06 GB

• Includes: Warewolf server, PowerShell-based entry point script

• Base Image: mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019

Due to the use of the Windows Server 2019 servercore base image, the resulting image is relatively large. However, Windows Server 2022 introduces significant improvements that justify a migration:

 Benefits of Migrating to Windows Server 2022:

• Reduced base image size (~700 MB smaller)

• Faster container startup times

• Improved runtime and networking performance

Estimated reduction: ~1 GB or ~15–20% smaller overall image size.

1. Warwolf-Counters are not present when container is started. We counters and warwolf automatically started need when container started.
2. warewolf image also large in size, we need to reduce the size of warwwolf image for quick download in deployment process and auto-scaling activity.
3. We need log for license activation or a command like getserverversion to check the license is activated or not.
4. For running custom-powershell script we are not deploying StartasService.ps1 as ENTRYPOINT, so there are no logs, need to find other way to get those warewolf logs up.

I am currently trying to review your product but encountering a problem being able to call the webservice from another PC (Not localhost) Whereby I am receiving an authentication logon box. How do I configure the webserver for this product to use Anonymous connections. I have installed this on an Azure VM and have opened the firewall and added the network group security in Azure. (In IIS I would be looking at Authentication config, but there seems to be no interface for managing this, or at least one I have found)

Thanks in advance

Hello Experts,

I'm trying to pack my Java Azure project in Mac and I cannot find the source code for cspack.exe. So far, I've managed to run Azure Eclipse plugin and successfully created a project but when trying to deploy it cannot run cspack.exe. I've downloaded Windows Microsoft Azure Tools and seen CsPack.cs up to the following lines

// Run CsPack to generate the package
ProcessHelper.StartAndWaitForProcess(
  new ProcessStartInfo(Path.Combine(AzureSdkBinDirectory, Resources.CsPackExe),
    args), out standardOutput, out standardError);

And I don't really know if this component it's open source or not. If cspack.exe is proprietary, is there any way to simulate cspack.exe. I know it compresses the project to a zip file but I could use any documentation.

Help me on this !

Thanks
