Migrate Hyper-V VM to OpenStack

1. Install Virtio drivers: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/creating-windows-virtual-machines-using-virtio-drivers/
2. Apply CloudInit: https://cloudbase.it/cloudbase-init/#download
3. Disable Secure boot for VM on Hyper-V if enabled.
4. Convert Hyper-V VHDX -> VHD
5. Convert VHD -> QCOW2
6. Convert QCOW2 -> RAW
7. Upload Image to OpenStack
8. Open Openstack CLI
9. Modify the OpenStack Image: openstack image set –property hw_firmware_type=’uefi’ –property hw_machine_type=’q35’ –property architecture=’x86_64’ MyImage
10. Deploy an Instance based on the Image
