The MAAS team is happy to announce that the new upstream (development) release has now been released. This is MAAS 2.2 Beta 2.
*Availability* MAAS 2.2.0 Beta 2 is currently available in: *ppa:maas/next* Release Notes Important announcements - MAAS now supports composable hardware - The Intel Rack Scale Design The MAAS team is excited to announce the support for the Intel Rack Scale Design (RSD). Intel Rack Scale Design (RSD) is a hardware architecture that allows the dynamic composition of physical systems from a pool of available hardware resources. MAAS, as a cloud-like, scale-out bare-metal provisioning system, will leverage the use of Intel RSD to compose (create) and provision systems. With the support for RSD, MAAS introduces the ability to manually or dynamically compose (create) new machines from an available pool of resources. It will allow administrators to request machines with specific resources on demand and be able to deploy their workloads on them. Major new features - MAAS support for Intel RSD - API only MAAS 2.2b2 introduces initial support for Intel RSD. It provides the ability to: - Add a new Intel RSD POD into MAAS, allowing users to have a full view of the available and used resources. - Add the ability to discover pre-composed resources, allowing MAAS to discover machines that have been created before adding the Intel RSD POD into MAAS. - Add the ability to create (compose) new machines. - Notifications MAAS 2.2b2 introduces a new notification system. The notification system surfaces various messages to the user via the WebUI, allowing to have more visibility as to what’s going on with the system. Initially, users will be notified when: - When Rack Controllers get disconnected - When image import fails on your region controller. - When Rack Controllers have images that the Region Controller does not. - WebUI Visual updates MAAS 2.2b2 WebUI now has an updated WebUI that includes: - Updated all icons and colour set within the framework. This will keep inline with the Vanilla Framework and the new visual update which is going across all products - Links have changed from black to blue. This keeps MAAS inline with Juju and other Cloud products also improves the visual UX. - Improved the responsive nature of MAAS. Tables especially have been improved. The new card view and label using aria-label improves the readability and uses on mobile / small screens. - Navigation responsive issues have been resolved. - Flash messages has been removed and now replaced with the improved notification pattern. - New utility classes u-display--mobile & u-display--desktop have been added for extra responsive development / design flexibility. - Accordion styles have been improved. Removing the cross style and keeping it consistent with our remove style. -- Andres Rodriguez Engineering Manager, MAAS Canonical USA, Inc.
