## Getting started with Juju 2.0

Juju 2.0 allows you to get started creating models without modifying any
definition files.  Just provide your credentials and go!  (*Note: to
fully understand the new bootstrap experience please see the "New
Bootstrap and Cloud Management Experience" section below)

* LXD provider (requires lxd 2.0.0~rc9 or later):
  The LXD provider requires no credentials, so you can create a
  controller by just specifying its name:

    juju bootstrap <controller name> lxd

Note that the lxdbr0 bridge needs to be properly configured for the lxd
provider to work, for details see:
http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/04/07/lxd-networking-lxdbr0-explained/

* Public Clouds:
  Known public clouds can be listed with juju list-clouds:

    juju list-clouds

    CLOUD              TYPE        REGIONS
    aws                ec2         us-east-1, us-west-1, us-west-2, ...
    aws-china          ec2         cn-north-1
    aws-gov            ec2         us-gov-west-1
    azure              azure       japanwest, centralindia, eastus2, ...
    azure-china        azure       chinaeast, chinanorth
    cloudsigma         cloudsigma  mia, sjc, wdc, zrh, hnl
    google             gce         us-east1, us-central1, ...
    joyent             joyent      us-east-1, us-east-2, us-east-3, …
    localhost          lxd         localhost
    rackspace          rackspace   lon, syd, hkg, dfw, ord, iad

Add your credentials using either:

    juju add-credential <cloud>
or
    juju add-credential <cloud> -f creds.yaml
or
    juju autoload-credentials

When specifying just the cloud, juju add-credential will allow a new
credential to be added interactively. You will be prompted type the
required credential attributes. Example:

    juju add-credential aws
      credential name: aws-creds
      replace existing credential? [y/N]: y
      auth-type: access-key
      access-key: ABC123ABC123ABC123AB
      secret-key:
    credentials added for cloud aws

The new credentials.yaml file at: ~/.local/share/juju/credentials.yaml

The autoload tool will search for existing credentials for AWS,
OpenStack/Rackspace, and Google clouds. You will then be prompted for
which ones you'd like to save.

If you have an existing credential.yaml file, you can also import a
named credential, eg for MAAS

    cat credentials.yaml

      credentials:
         maas:
           my-credentials:
             auth-type: oauth1
             maas-oauth: <mass-oauth-key>

or, for AWS

    cat credentials.yaml

      credentials:
        aws:
          default-credential: my-credentials
          my-credentials:
            auth-type: access-key
            access-key: <key>
            secret-key: <secret>

Bootstrap using your default credentials:

     juju bootstrap <controller name> <cloud>[/region]

Examples:

     juju bootstrap aws-controller aws

     juju bootstrap mass-controller maas/192.168.0.1

In the MAAS example above, you specify the host address of the MAAS
controller. So to use Juju on MAAS out of the box, you set up a
credentials file (either interactively, or based on the example above)
and then bootstrap. This avoids the need for any cloud configuration.
But it's also possible to set up a named MAAS cloud definition as
explained later.

More details on the new bootstrap experience, including defining private
clouds can be found in the New Bootstrap and Cloud Management Experience
section.
