[Maas-devel] Maas weekly checkpoint meeting nodes - 2012-03-27

[Francis J. Lacoste]

Attendees: flacoste, mrevell, Daviey

Actions from last week
----------------------

   None

Deploy a node through Juju
--------------------------

    * Finally working fine in some cases.
    * Try with real hardware:
        * Juju wasn't working (because of the extra URL path)
        * Same issue with metadata server.
        * Cobbler DNS servers uses the system-id instead of the
          hostname.
    * Team is starting to add constraints support.

Deploy to a named node through Juju
-----------------------------------

    * Juju team has some concerns over the concept of a by-name
      constraint.

    [ACTION] flacoste will follow-up with Gustavo to ensure that this
    isn't a blocker.

List and select Maas from the installer (Avahi)
-----------------------------------------------

    * This is working fine to enlist the node with MAAS.
    * There is a problem though in that there is no way for the node
      to be booted by MAAS afterwards :-(
    * We will provide a pen drive image that can be left in the machine
      to contact the MAAS (basically implementing PXE in user-space over
      AVAHI).

Installing Maas from the CD
---------------------------

    * Working on smoothing the installer experience.
    * Daemons aren't started under the installer, need to fix.
    * Need to change the option from Enlist with Ubuntu MAAS to Install
      or Enlist
    * When installing MAAS need to get rid of the "extra install
     options" at the end.

Overview of the MaaS cluster
----------------------------

  * Basic functionality is in.
  * Working on polish and bug fixing.


Continuous Integration System
-----------------------------

  * We should add installer test cases to iso.qa.ubuntu.com Server list.


Other business
--------------

We should provide some comments on the Open Compute Project Remote Serer
Base specification from the MAAS project point of view:
