Carrier-grade infrastructure DNS, DHCP, and IPAM
MAAS integrates best-of-breed ISC DHCP and Bind9 DNS, and will operate these in high availability mode whenever redundant MAAS services are provided. Deploy the MAAS API services on two systems and you will have high availability API endpoints; deploy two rack controllers and all rack services are automatically redundant. MAAS uses the PostgreSQL database which supports redundant and highly available scenarios.
Devops on bare metal is easy with dynamic server provisioning
Take devops to bare metal for apps like big data, kubernetes, analytics, machine learning, private cloud, OpenStack, PAAS and HPC. Specialists love MAAS.
Open source software-defined data centre
MAAS is an open source SDDC solution used by telcos, financial institutions, media companies and supercomputer admins to take care of all the low-level details. PXE, IPMI, ILO and all the custom protocols needed for diverse vendor hardware support come together in one clean REST API with Python bindings for easy integration and automation. It includes full IPAM capabilities, providing a central database and REST API for all network addressing and naming information.
KVM MicroCloud for Edge Computing
MAAS offers the ability to create lean, on-demand KVM-based micro-clouds. This capability extends to fine-grained control over KVM storage and networking configuration, thereby accelerating deployment of applications in any environment constrained by physical footprint or requiring dedicated VM-based workloads.
Tackle your provisioning problems with MAAS
Automated operations
Big data
Quickly provision and tear down both physical and virtual servers with a modern operating system deployment toolchain. Perfect for high-performance computing (HPC).
Smart data centres
MAAS transforms DevOps with complex server workflows, including dynamic partitioning, application-driven resource scaling, automatic workload rebalancing and immutable infrastructure.
Intelligent hybrid clouds
MAAS helps you build unified hybrid cloud operations by exposing a bare-metal provisioning operations API that can be used with service modelling tools, like Juju, or configuration management tools, like Chef.
Lower cost of operations
Automated repurposing
MAAS helps you run different workloads at different times, using the same or different base operating systems, at both large and small scales.
Cost reduction
Decommission nodes during non-peak periods to save both energy and personnel requirements. Use the time to focus on day-to-day hardware management tasks, optimising usage patterns and internal processes.
Hardware and Virtual Machine management
Replace legacy in-house provisioning tools and their associated problems, such as development resources, debugging, QA, on-boarding and ‘bus-factor’, with a standard set of converged open source tools, at speed to any scale.
Optimised testing
Continuous integration (CI) testing
MAAS’s API allows storage and networking to be rapidly reconfigured to match each test case, generating a clean bare-metal environment for every run.
Hardware testing at scale
Run sets of standard and customised tests on freshly provisioned machines and racks, transforming any new hardware provision and integration process.
Enterprise support
for MAAS
MAAS is freely available, open source software from Canonical. Support and commercial capabilities for MAAS are included with Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure. These additional charges apply for machines managed by MAAS and not covered by a UA Infrastructure contract.
