Hi Frans, If you're interested in bare-metal cloud, not MaaS specifically, we(USC/ISI and NTT docomo) want to introduce our bare-metal stuff also. :)

Hi Frans, There's a wealth of info over at the MAAS website https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS/ . It is Canonical's method for PXE booting and installing an OS so that a further service, called Juju, can be used to assign the functions/roles to a server that previously had nothing installed (bare metal). If you're familiar with Cobbler, it is that service with extra hooks to Juju. With Juju you can allocate roles to your MAAS provisioned servers such as, be a Glance server, or Compute host in a very simple way similar to what apt does for installing packages on a server.
