 +===== Upload and manage images =====
  
 +A virtual machine image, referred to in this document simply as an image, is a single file that contains a virtual disk that has a bootable operating system installed on it. Images are used to create virtual machine instances within the cloud. For information about creating image files, see the [[https://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/ | OpenStack Virtual Machine Image Guide.]]
  
 +**1. Upload an image**
 +
 +Follow this procedure to upload an image to a project:
 +
 +   a) Log in to the dashboard.
 +   b) Select the appropriate project from the drop down menu at the top left.
 +   c) On the Project tab, open the Compute tab and click Images category.

 +**How to deploy windows on openstack**
 +
 +Windows Image for OpenStack: For most Linux distributions, it is possible to download a generic QCOW2 file for the purposes of running instances in a cloud environment. However, Microsoft does not provide such instances for any Cloud platform other than Azure.
 +
 +Since Microsoft Windows is still a major component in many IT infrastructures, there may be a need to run Windows-based instances on OpenStack.
 +
 +To upload Windows image, We suggest that you follow this tutorial for [[https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/how-to-deploy-windows-on-openstack/|Preparing windows images]] before uploading to the openstack environment.
 +
 +       Note: CHPC does not provide licenses, Appropriate licenses for any software run on the service by
 +       users must be sought and applied by the users, including any licenses that may be required to run
 +       instance operating systems.
