Windows Server¶
Base Image¶
Microsoft does not provide ready built qcow2 images so you will need to build them yourself. You can use this packer template to build windows images with cloudbase-init and an SSH server enabled.
Currently, only Windows Server 2022 is supported, but more versions are coming soon.
Import¶
sherpa server image import \
--src windows_server_2022-20260307.qcow2 \
--version 2022-20260307 \
--model windows_server \
--default
