Idea is great. All these Hyper-V operations are implement to manage the Hyper-V box directly using WMI calls right? Or these operations are implemented via SCVMM?

We developend an Hyper-V management framework that we use in our cloud products that can be used (at least as as a starting point). I'm summing up at the bottom of this email what we already have in terms of Hyper-V features handled by our framework (completed and tested). We basically cover everything needed for CloudStack and more. :-) Beside that we also just released an open source Hyper-V backup library and CLI tool: http://hypervbackup.codeplex.com/ So far it's the only open source tool handling VSS backups of VMs on CSV storage :-) The assemblies are written in C# with .Net as the only dependency. I see 3 options to integrate our work with CloudStack: Write a Java adapter on top of the C# assembly (via JNI) Rewrite the C# code in Java, considering the quirkness for accessing WMI from java (jWMI, etc) Deploy the assembly on the Hyper-V hosts and add a RESTful layer on top to be consumed by a Java adapter (locally or remotely). That would be the best option in terms of performance and security (and the fastest to release :-) ). I prefer the third option, but I'm open to any idea! Looking forward for your opinion! BTW We plan to setup a CloudStack Hyper-V service in our datacenter on top of one of the clusters as soon as we have a working beta.
