   Internet Connectivity test, ensures machines can connect to the Internet.



   -

   NTP connectivity, ensures that machines can connect to the configured
   NTP server, whether this is MAAS or an external NTP server.


Intel RSD improvements

MAAS 2.2b4 introduces further improvements to Intel RSD usage in MAAS:


   -

   Pod details page

A pod details page has been improved by:

   Add the ability to show and change the power management or pod
   management credentials and endpoints.

specific pod.

UX Improvements

Several UI improvements have been made:


   -

   Design Change - Tabs

Following the UX improvements from our design team, the 2.2b4 UI has now
improved navigation. This includes a new Tab based approach for second
level navigation items (for example, machines, devices and controllers
under the Nodes tag).

   Better error surfacing

Add error surfacing when editing node interfaces (including both Machine
and devices interfaces).
