I just installed MaaS and saw that It proceeds to automatic server installation with PXE+DHCP+IPMI/WakeOnLan. But I was wondering ... How can it be possible in a real datacenter like OVH ? [20:33] Mtl_: you mean ovh.co.uk ? [20:33] yes sir. [20:34] if they give you acccess to IPMI and your own layer 2 network for deployment it should work fine [20:34] if they don't, then you'd need them to offer you a MaaS endpoint [20:36] (or some other bare metal cloud API) [20:36] They offer a kind of "own network" called vRack http://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/virtual_rack.xml [20:36] whitch connect dedicted servers with a virtual switch [20:39] By the way, I bet that the Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure is nothing without MaaS [20:39] what do you mean ? [20:42] That the deployment of a Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure is not possible / useful without MaaS [20:48] oh; I wouldn't agree with that statement [20:52] though I guess it depends on the exact definition of UCI [20:52] Thanks for all [20:53] but you can certainly deploy an OpenStack cloud using Ubuntu packages w/out MaaS [20:53] probably still using Juju - e.g. Juju on top of Nova baremetal [20:53] in fact https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuCloudInfrastructure describes three ways to install [20:53] only one of which uses MaaS === freeflying_away is now known as freeflying [20:58] Aah right. [20:58] And MaaS is really dedicted for HyperScale [20:58] Like if you have your own datacenter and racking a lot of servers [20:59] to avoid the installation process on workers === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away [21:52] Mtl_: yes, it is automation [21:52] Mtl_: if you don't have enough hardware to pay off the (time, learning, etc) overhead of installing MaaS, then you don't need it. [21:52] Mtl_: but you can still get UCI ;) [21:55] Thanks for help ! === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away
