Deploying a Windows virtual machine on OpenShift Online (Starter Plan) - openshift

I would like to achieve exactly what is on this video of OpenShift: https://youtu.be/Kx110kqoHo0 (Deploying a Windows virtual machine on OpenShift). However on the dashboard of my free OpenShift Starter account, I cannot find the sub-menu "Virtual Machine" under menu "Workloads", like shown in the video.
Can you please share with me some tips on how to run a Windows virtual machine (or alternatively a Ubuntu) on my free OpenShift Online environment? (unfortunately, I am not in the position of upgrading this account to a paid plan at the moment)
I would really appreciate your kind guidance and thank you very much for valuable time.

The feature you are looking for is called Container-native virtualization (CNV) and is not available on OpenShift Online at the moment. It is available in OpenShift Container Platform 4.4 as a Tech Preview.

Add a Windows node to Openshift OKD v.3.11

Since Docker can now run on Windows, is there a way to deploy Openshift OKD over a Windows VM?
In the documentation under System and environment requirements we can read that rhel family OS are needed, but I'm just wondering if there is a side process (alternative) process to perform this operation.
My main concern is that I need to run Windows containers on OKD.
The answer is that for OKD 3.11 this is not possible and has to do with the networking (OVS) not being available for Windows machines.
That being said, there is a lot of information available for Windows Container in Kubernetes itself, although there are A LOT of things that are not implemented or are not supported at this time: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/windows/intro-windows-in-kubernetes/
You can expect Windows Containers to become available in OKD 4.5 or later as Tech Preview, but I personally would not hold my breath.

Openshift Container Platform V3.X vs. Fabric8

I took a look at Fabric8 Microservices Platform and searched for some alternatives for comprehension. I found Red Hats Openshift Container Platform, which seems to be the same as Fabric8, but not Open-Source.
I tried to figure out what are the major benefits of Red Hats solution.
I am already on the Openstack.
Fabric8 is a tool that helps you building cloud ready applications whereas Openshift will help you deploying and managing those applications.
You can deploy Fabric8 locally on the cloud or on Openshift.
Fabric8 is Open-Source and the correspondent supported product is Openshift.io
Openshift Origin is the Open-Source product, and Openshift Container Platform is the supported product.
Hope that helps

Windows 8.1 phone development licence

Is it possible to deploy to a windows 8.1 phone without having a developers licence?
I am trying to build and demo a proof of concept, so buying a licence at this time is not really wanted or required. I have looked through various sites and the Microsoft sites but cannot find a way of deploying the app without a licence.
I would be happy to use the emulator in visual studio but my computer only has 4gb so that is not an option. If I need a licence are there any other temporary options open to me? or are my only options up the RAM or get a licence
No, you need a license to 'side load' the application to test devices.

Deploy to Windows Phone 8 device from VM (RDP/RemoteFX)

I would like to move my WP8 development to a virtual machine. I know that the emulator won't run on top of a VM, so I'm wondering if I can deploy & debug directly to the device (via regular old USB). RemoteFX allegedly performs "USB redirection" which I assume is supposed to magically connect the phone up to my RDP session, and thus enable deployment. I was able to establish a RemoteFX connection with my VM, however when I try to deploy to my phone Visual Studio (within the VM) claims it cannot find a phone. (yes, I verified my phone is connected to my local machine)
tl;dr Does anyone know how to deploy to a physical Windows Phone from within a VM?
I see that this is the first link that appears in google search for this problem. I am going to present you the solution from what it is there is Nokia development articles. Please go through link.
The only important thing is to enable Intel VT-x option.

Client Machine requirements to run windows8-style app?

I used Windows8 Release Preview and Visual Studio2012 RC to develop my windows8-style application, And I want to run my application on another machine(client).They have windows8 Release Preview on their machine . So here my question are:
Are they need to install any other software like Visual Studio2012
and .NetFramework4.5 on their machine or not?
Can anyone give me some helpful information related to client's
machine requirements to run metro app successfully?
Thank you.

You can test it with PowerShell, it may require .net framework to install and for detailed information follow the links below.

Check the Edit Section of the answer and the reference video in the another answer for your second query.
Supporting a Metro style Device App
Hope this help you explore about the metro app deployment.
You can also configure your machines to do remote debugging if you want. This is useful if your development machine is a traditional laptop or desktop but you want to debug your app running on a slate that has an accelerometer, GPS, multi touch, etc.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx has information on how to get that set up.
