Publish Windows boxes to Vagrant Cloud bento organization #1398

Closed decoyjoe closed 1 year ago

decoyjoe commented 2 years ago

Describe the Enhancement:

This project contains Packer templates for Windows boxes at packer_templates/windows. However these boxes are not published to the Vagrant Cloud bento organization like the rest of the project's boxes are. As a user of Test Kitchen it would be great if I could use Windows "bento" boxes alongside the rest of the bento boxes I use in Test Kitchen.

Current Alternative

Currently in Test Kitchen I use the Windows boxes under the tas50 Vagrant org which appear to be built from the templates in this repository. However now that tas50 is no longer with Chef I'm unsure of the future of those boxes.

This was done for legal reasons and is unfortunately not going to change unless Microsoft changes their stance on Windows box distribution.

cc @nguyen-dows Are companies allowed to publish boxes to https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?

Similar to what @tas50 had done, I started building and hosting my own windows boxes using the bento project templates. You can find them at https://app.vagrantup.com/stromweld, I'm also working on a current refresh of them that I hope to have out within the next few days.
