What is MAAS?
https://docs.maas.io/2.1/en/?_ga=2.243506310.2079947491.1557737480-500904786.1557737480
MAAS is Metal As A Service. It lets you treat physical servers like virtual machines (instances) in the cloud. Rather than having to manage each server individually, MAAS turns your bare metal into an elastic cloud-like resource.
Machines can be quickly provisioned and then destroyed again as easily as you can with instances in a public cloud like Amazon AWS, Google GCE, and Microsoft Azure, among others.
MAAS can act as a standalone PXE/preseed service or it can be integrated with other technologies. In particular, it is designed to work especially well with Juju, the service and model management service. It’s a perfect arrangement: MAAS manages the machines and Juju manages the services running on those machines.
