i'm quite a newb on this subject and this is my first attempt.

I could't find much documentation about what MAAS is exactly.

I made my own MAAS server and 1 node is now added and allocated.

SSH works with the node etc.



But now I wonder... what can I do with these nodes?

My idea about MAAS was that nodes share their computing power

with the cluster controller and this cluster controller is your server.

(Where i can make my mysql database, apache2 webserver etc.)



edit:

and then i suddenly found this:




Dynamically re-allocate physical resources to match workload
requirements




For example.. I have an server of some sort of game with 6 threads.

does MAAS spread my workload automatically in terms of.. sending 3 threads to my node?

(i'm still learning and i got a lot to learn i know. and i used google but now i really need to ask some more experienced people)

MAAS stands for "Metal as a Service". It is similar to IAAS "Infrastructure as a Service" as it allows a new machine to be provisioned. The difference is that IAAS normally refers to virtual machines, MAAS is designed to provision bare metal. This means bring a bare metal server with no operating system install to a completely working server ready for the user to deploy services on.



The documentation for MAAS can be found here: http://maas.io/



If your looking for something to deploy services, then I recommend taking a look at JuJu. JuJu allows you to easily deploy services with its charms architecture. JuJu also connects to MAAS to retrieve ready to use servers, to deploy the services on.
