Abiquo 5.4 adds new guest setup options for Windows in Amazon AWS via API. These options are available in the UI in Abiquo 5.4.1.

These options are:

  • CLOUDBASE_INIT 

  • EC2LAUNCH_V2

  • EC2LAUNCH

  • EC2CONFIG

...

In the Bootstrap script, users should be able to add any script because AWS passes the script to the instance in UserData as a MIME multi-part message with content type a text/x-shellscript content type. (See https://cloudbase-init.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userdata.html#multi-part-content)

...

You must enclose the bootstrap script with <script></script> tags for a batch script and <powershell></powershell> tags for a powershell script.

...

The bootstrap script should be in a yaml YAML format. See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/ec2-windows-user-data.html#user-data-yaml-scripts
