Very basic script to create/destroy openstack VMs
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Control server(s) on an Openstack cloud.
# The openstack command must be available on the PATH.
#
# This script assumes a ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml
# exists containing credentials for the project that
# contains the servers. This can be created and downloaded
# from the Identity->Appplication Credentials section of the
# OpenStack UI.

    • Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName containers –All
    • Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V –All

Close issues linked to merged pull requests by milestone
"""Examines all issues assigned to a given milestone and if they are associated with
a merged pull request that is linked to fix the issue then it closes that issue.
This module exists as GitHub only closes issues linked with 'Fixes #1234' if a
pull request was merged to the default branch. During a beta period pull requests
merged to the release branch leaving dangling issues around.
Requires the pygithub module.
