[Bug 1553261] Re: [FFe] Standing FFe for MAAS 2.0

[Andres Rodriguez]

Hi Stephane,

I've updated the bug report. I just wanna be clear with something
though. The introduction of the NEW MAAS 2.0 features enhance
functionality of MAAS and will not break users using previous releases,
as MAAS 2.0 provides full feature parity.

Hope these answer all your questions, if not, please do let me know!



** Description changed:

- MAAS 2.0 has just reach a major milestone as is introducing significant
- changes to:
+ Dependencies & Upgrade

-  - Move away from Cluster Controllers to a new Rack Controller model
-  - It introduces a new API 2.0 to support the changes above
-  - New DNS model that provides full support for managing DNS records.
-  - Improves the IP Ranges support.
+ MAAS users that are upgrading to 2.0, they will be able to continue to
+ use MAAS exactly the same way how they were using it before, right after
+ the upgrade without any user intervention. While MAAS 2.0 adds
