Windows / other images

[etutt]

What is the easiest way to get working Windows images and other linux varients as well? Are there any step-by-step guides available for creating these images or any repository that contains pre-built ones? The process for deploying OS’s other than CentOS and Ubuntu seems to be cryptic or vague in the documentation I’ve encountered.

Also I see support for Windows 2012/2016 here:

MAAS image builder (CLI)

MAAS Image Builder is an alternative to packer for creating MAAS images. In order to use MAAS Image Builder, you must purchase Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure. With the MAAS Image Builder, you can: install MAAS Image Builder via a private Canonical PPA (which you can request) create custom CentOS images create custom RHEL images create Windows images create other kinds of custom images You can customize most images as much or as little as you wish, then use them to commission machine…

but nothing for 2019 mentioned. Does MaaS not support 2019 image building? Are there other tools that can be used for this other than the by-commercial-license-only image builder by Canonical?

@etutt, no, we don’t offer Image Builder without Ubuntu Advantage. sorry.
