systems and configure \nWindows services in a cloud or virtual computing environment.\n\nUsed by developers, quality engineerings, devOps, system administrators and \nanyone else that needs to perform operations against hybrid environments \n(Linux and Windows), PAWS easily builds Windows environments with minimal \neffort required.\n\n### Benefits\n\n* Create, build and destroy Windows test environments within minutes in cloud\nor virtual computing environments.\n* Create fresh environments to validate bugs and eliminating non-expected \nissues caused by left over configurations and data.\n* Reduce the time spent on environment maintenance \"golden-environments\"\n* Use native Windows language (PowerShell) to automate Windows server \nconfigurations.\n* Easily share your scripts to run in different test environments \n(eliminating need to create scripts that already exists).\n\n### important\n\n* PAWS doesn't provide any Windows QCOW Image with it.\n* It is expected you know how to build your own Windows QCOW image.\n* PAWS doesn't supply any MSDN license or any rights.\n\n\n## Examples of usage\n\n* developers, working in components that interacts with Windows platform can\nuse PAWS to provision Windows with all configuration needed to verify their \ncode changes.\n\n* quality engineer, executing any type of tests for products running on hybrid \nenvironment (Linux and Windows) can use PAWS to provision the Windows\nenvironment with pre-defined configuration and ready to start the tests\nexecution.\n\n* developers, quality engineers and release engineers, can use PAWS to \nprovison the Windows environment for a release dry-run before go to production.\nWith PAWS groups the installation and workflow can be defined managing the\nreproducibility and avoiding left over data reducing risks of a production\nrelease.  \n\n* devOps, before apply changes in a hybrid environment (Linux and Windows) can\nuse PAWS to replicate the Windows environment based on scripts.\n\n\n## Full documentation\n\nTo know more access the full documentation at\nhttps://rhpit-paws.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/\n\n\n## Report an issue\n\nTo report an issue that can be
