Description

Self-service, remote deployment of operating systems such as Windows, CentOS, ESXi, and Ubuntu on physical servers transforms your data center into a bare metal cloud environment. This Metal-As-A-Service (MAAS) solution enables provisioning for a variety of systems, offering on-demand server capabilities alongside remote edge cluster management. With comprehensive infrastructure monitoring and discovery features, it seamlessly integrates with tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, SALT, and Juju, ensuring rapid installations from scratch. Supporting VMware ESXi, Windows, CentOS, RHEL, and Ubuntu, it allows for the creation of customized images with pre-installed applications, as well as configurations for disk and network settings. The platform utilizes an API-driven approach for essential services such as DHCP, DNS, PXE, and IPAM, while a REST API facilitates streamlined provisioning processes. Furthermore, it incorporates LDAP user authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) to enhance security measures. Hardware testing and commissioning are integral parts of the solution, which is designed to deliver the quickest operating system installation times in the industry, thanks to its highly optimized image-based installer. MAAS is compatible with all certified servers from leading vendors and efficiently discovers servers located in racks, chassis, and broader data center networks, while also supporting major system BMCs and chassis controllers. The combination of these features allows organizations to manage their infrastructure more effectively and drive operational efficiency.

Description

With just one command, you can swiftly create an Ubuntu virtual machine using Multipass, which is capable of launching and managing VMs while configuring them with cloud-init, akin to public cloud environments. This tool allows you to experiment with cloud launches right on your local machine at no cost, and in just five minutes, you'll realize how effortlessly a lightweight cloud setup can be achieved. To get started, you can launch several LTS instances, check their status, execute commands, apply cloud-init configurations, and remove older instances as needed. For those looking to master the Linux command line, the "Ubuntu Server CLI cheat sheet" serves as a quick reference for skills ranging from basic file management to advanced deployments like Kubernetes and OpenStack. Multipass also features a command line interface that simplifies the launching, management, and interaction with Linux instances. You'll find that downloading a fresh image is incredibly fast, enabling you to have a fully operational VM in mere minutes. Furthermore, you can create Ubuntu instances and initialize them with cloud-init metadata, similar to setups on AWS, Azure, Google, IBM, and Oracle clouds, allowing you to effectively simulate a cloud deployment directly on your workstation. This capability makes it easier than ever to experiment and learn about cloud computing without the need for extensive resources.
