  In this blog, we are going to explore how to leverage MAAS for hardware discovery and kernel auto-configuration using tags. In many cases, certain pieces of hardware require extra kernel parameters to be set in order to make use of them. For example, when configuring GPU passthrough we will typically need to configure the GPU […]

  In this blog post, we are going to introduce the concept of multi-tenancy in MAAS. This allows operators to have different groups of users own a group of resources (machines) without ever even knowing about other groups of users enabling enhanced machine utilisation. A common use case for medium and large-scale environments is to provide […]
