Review Comment:
MaaS doesn't have any custom actions, right?
Can modify this to "Proxmox and Hyper-V Extensions support some custom
actions ..."

+
+Adding MaaS to CloudStack
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To set up the MaaS Extension, follow these steps in CloudStack:
+
+#. **Use Default Extension**
+
+ A default MaaS Extension is already available and enabled under
`Extensions` tab.
+
+#. **Create Cluster**
+
+ Create a Cluster with Hypervisor type `External` and Extension type `MaaS`.
+
+ |MaaS-add-cluster.png|
+
+#. **Add Host**
+
+ Add a Host to the newly created Cluster with the following details:
+
+ To access MaaS environment, the `endpoint`, `apikey` need to be set in the
Host.
+
+ * **endpoint**: IP address of the MaaS server. The API used for operations
in the script will look like `http://<endpoint>:5240/MAAS/api/2.0`.
+ * **apikey**: API key for MaaS
+
+ |MaaS-add-host.png|
+
+
+#. **Create Template**
+
+ A Template in CloudStack can map to either a `Template` or an `ISO` in MaaS.
+ Provide a dummy `url` and template name. Select `External` as the
hypervisor and `MaaS` as the extension. Under `External Details`, specify:
-.. _Proxmox VE API: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html
+ * **distro_series**: The name of the operating system series available in
MaaS to install on the machine. If not specified, script defaults to `ubuntu`
+
+ |MaaS-add-template.png|
+
+#. **Deploy Instance**
+
+ Deploy an Instance using the Template created above. Optionally, provide
the detail `vm_name` to specify the name of the VM in MaaS.

Please check if we should call it VM or some generic term like system or
machine
