@khaledhdce , the hyperv plugin has a maintenance backlog. We need someone to take ownership of it to be able to continue supporting it.

Hi @khaledhdce like Daan mentioned, the Hyper-V plugin is not maintained like the other hypervisors and would require volunteers to evaluate its current state and compatibility. It might even work without significant changes, but atleast I don’t have a clear idea at this time.

If you are looking for such integration, we have a new feature coming up that you might be interested in. It introduces a framework to integrate any external compute provisioner into CloudStack. For example, you could integrate baremetal or Hyper-V using simple scripts.
