Thanks Alexander for the detail explanation, really very helpful! What I meant for a windows cluster is actually a windows application, such as a WebSphere cluster or a hadoop windows cluster.
Seems I can use Cloudbase Init to do the post-deploy actions on windows, but I cannot do some scale up or scale down for this cluster as currently there is no cfn-tools for windows, is it correct?
