Blueprint changed by Kate Stewart: Whiteboard changed: User Stories Alice's new ARM server cluster has arrived and she has plugged it in. She would like to take the charms that she has been testing in a third party Openstack cluster and deploy them to her new ARM server cluster. ARM servers are so new that Bob, a seasoned datacentre technician, does not know how they work. But Bob does know how to use MAAS, because he has been testing it using his Intel servers. This was easy for him because he knows how PXE works. Bob would like MAAS on his ARM servers so that he doesn't need to care about how the system management works underneath. Assumptions ARM systems without system management via IPMI and U-Boot pxelinux emulation are out of scope for this cycle. ARM systems that we do not have hardware to test with at the start of this cycle may not be able to be considered. Test Plans Charm testing on ARM hardware. This will exercise MAAS as well. - Release Note + Release Notes: MAAS now works on ARM! This also enables juju on ARM bare metal. Notes: What will the supported installation methods be for Q? Eg. netinst (manual), MAAS, dd an oem image, cloud image, ...? Use cases: First time by-hand install (how important?) juju-based bare-metal deployment OpenStack (important, but out of scope) First time by-hand install: netinst sufficient? Mechanisms for the installer to install/configure U-Boot.
