Glazier is a Google-developed tool for automating Windows operating system installations across various device platforms. It boots systems into WinPE, fetches YAML-based instructions over HTTPS, and applies the OS along with applications and configurations.
Use cases
- automate windows os installation on new hardware
- bare-metal provisioning of windows machines
- build a windows imaging pipeline driven by yaml
- deploy windows with preinstalled applications and settings
- standardize fleet-wide windows setup across device platforms
When to choose
- you need repeatable, code-driven Windows imaging at scale
- you want YAML-based declarative OS deployment configs
- you're provisioning Windows in an enterprise or datacenter environment
When to avoid
- you need Linux or macOS deployment automation
- you only need simple disk cloning or one-off installs
- you can't host a web server for deployment instructions
