Overview

This module installs Hyper-V tools on Linux guests.

Usage

This module takes no options. To use it, simply do

include hyperv

Compatibility

Hyper-V compatibility between distributions is... interesting.

RHEL

RHEL includes all related EL distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Scientific Linux, etc. RHEL5 had patchy support for Hyper-V so this module only works on RHEL6 and RHEL7. See Microsoft's documentation

Fedora

RHEL is derived from Fedora so compatibility is the same, and Fedora has supported Hyper-V for ages. This module only supports Fedora 21 and newer, because 20 and older are no longer receiving security updates and should not be used.

Debian

Debian 7 and 8 support Hyper-V natively. This module will work with Debian but it won't actually do anything. See Microsoft's documentation

Ubuntu

Ubuntu has supported Hyper-V since 12.04. This module installs some extras. See Microsoft's documentation.

Summary

These distros work and are supported by this module.

Please send pull requests for adding support for other distros or fixing bugs.
