Hello Anders,

1. You can login into the server with the ssh option of juju. Therefore 
your SSH key must be already imported into the node.

2. How have you installed the nodes? Normally the SSH key is added when 
you bootstrap the juju environment and install the node.

3. If you do 'juju bootstrap', one of the nodes will be dedicated to 
juju, and will be used to launch and orchestrate other instances. When 
you add, for example, a node for MySQL 'juju deploy mysql', another node 
will be allocated to your user account.

4. You don't have to bootstrap again. When your node's are ready, you 
can deploy a charm to it.

Again, how did you install the MAAS invironment?

I use the next steps.

1. Installer the maas server with the "create maas server" option (also 
create superuser and install maas-dhcp)
2. create a ssh key for the user
3. import the ssh key into maas
4. create the file ~/.juju/environments.yaml' with the correct settings.
5. Add the nodes to the maas webinterface. This will boot the servers 
(WOL) with the ephemeral boot image, after a short while (maybe a 
minute), the server will automatically shutdown and the status of the 
server will be ready in the webinterface.
6. do 'juju bootstrap', this will boot one of the nodes by WOL and start 
a installation of ubuntu. It will also import you SSH key into the server.
7. do 'juju deploy mysql', this will boot another node by WOL ans start 
a installation of ubuntu including MySQL and will also import you SSH key.

Kind regards,

Jasper Aikema
