  UDS Session Notes:
  
  ARM Support
  Support for different ARM flavours is complex
  But a lot is shared with the desktop images, if not all
  Sub-architecture support should be out of the scope
  Minimum requirement is being able to netboot with pxelinux U-Boot emulation and full IPMI-based system management support.
  MAAS requires that ARM servers have a baseline of system management support
  IPMI necessary to ARM (no WoL) - but IPMI is planned for Q for all archs anyway.
  Dropping/replacing Cobbler dependency
  PowerManagement
  IPMI
  Fence agents
  NUT?
  Commissioning Environment
  Burn-in and hardware exploration tests: what tools?
-      * bonnie
-      * stress
-      * iobench
-      * checkbox does some of these already could utilize
-       * checkbox should report back to MAAS, perhaps with an option to report to central checkbox server
-      * autotest can run the tests remotely or locally, and also have a bunch of test cases already
-      * facter (ruby) takes track of edge cases.
-      * make sure that you collect enough data for use by juju
-      * Investigate facter and alternatives

  Faster install:
-  * Use a SquashFS image
-   * Keep in mind the complexity of a server regarding multiple nics multiple block storage devices.

  Test Plan:
+ 
+ 1) Upgrades
+ Installed Ubuntu 12.04 with MAAS; upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10; MAAS is replaced with its newer upstream release and the web application, configuration, and provisioning are transitioned to the new package locations.
+ 
+ 2) Fresh install
+ We will continue to be able to deploy a MAAS server from the CD, and provide automated ISO testing.
