So for my KVM nodes I can always spin up cirros and do some quick checks on key services. For hyper-v what could be a solid ultra simple corollary? Unsure if Nano will have a licensing model to allow for that type of usage. I found an old request from apilotti in 2013 on the Cirros backlog, but no action so not optimistic there.
I know I can use the full Cloudbase images, but they are quite large so they make for a lengthy qualification run. Seeing what others may be using as a micro image.
Thinking publicly available would be an ubuntu cloud image which will have the hyper-v support. And I can likely create my own nano vhd for my rough testing?
