The network configuration is performed via cloud-init. MAAS CentOS images now use the latest available version of cloud-init that includes these features. New Features & ImprovementsCentOS Networking Support MAAS can now perform machine network configuration for CentOS, giving CentOS networking feature parity with Ubuntu. The following can now be configured for MAAS deployed CentOS images: - Static network configuration. - Bonds, VLAN and bridge interfaces. Thanks for the cloud-init team for improving the network configuration support for CentOS. Windows Networking Support MAAS can now configure NIC teaming (bonding) and VLAN interfaces for Windows deployments. This uses the native NetLBFO in Windows 2008+. Contact us for more information (https://maas.io/contact-us). Network Discovery & Beaconing MAAS now sends out encrypted beacons to facilitate network discovery and monitoring. Beacons are sent using IPv4 and IPv6 multicast (and unicast) to UDP port 5240. When registering a new controller, MAAS uses the information gathered from the beaconing protocol to ensure that newly registered interfaces on each controller are associated with existing known networks in MAAS. UI improvements Minor UI improvements have been made - Renamed “Device Discovery” to “Network Discovery”. - Discovered devices where MAAS cannot determine the hostname now show the hostname as “unknown” and greyed out instead of using the MAC address manufacturer as the hostname.
