Major new features

------------------

11
Improved image downloading and reporting.
15
12
  MAAS boot images are now downloaded centrally by the region controller
16
13
  and disseminated to all registered cluster controllers.  This change includes
17
14
  a new web UI under the `Images` tab that allows the admin to select
18
15
  which images to import and shows the progress of the ongoing download.
19
16
  This completely replaces any file-based configuration that used to take
20
17
  place on cluster controllers.  The cluster page now shows whether it has
21
18
  synchronised all the images from the region controller.
22
19
23
20
  This process is also completely controllable using the API.
24
21
25
22
Note:
26
23
  Unfortunately due to a format change in the way images are stored, it
27
24
  was not possible to migrate previously downloaded images to the new region
28
25
  storage.  The cluster(s) will still be able to use the existing images,
29
26
  however the region controller will be unaware of them until an import
30
27
  is initiated.  When the import is finished, the cluster(s) will remove
31
28
  older image resources.
32
29
33
30
Increased robustness.
34
31
  A large amount of effort has been given to ensuring that MAAS remains
35
32
  robust in the face of adversity.  An updated node state model has been
36
33
  implemented that takes into account more of the situations in which a
37
34
  node can be found including any failures at each stage.
38
35
39
36
  When a node is getting deployed, it is now monitored to check that each
40
37
  stage is reached in a timely fashion; if it does not then it is marked
41
38
  as failed.
42
39
43
40
  The core power driver was updated to check the state of the power on each
44
41
  node and is reported in the web UI and API.  The core driver now also
45
42
  handles retries when changing the power state of hardware, removing the
46
43
  requirement that each power template handle it individually.
47
44
48
45
Node event log.
49
46
  For every major event on nodes, it is now logged in a node-specific log.
50
47
  This includes events such as power changes, deployments and any failures.
51
48
52
49
IPv6
53
50
  It is now possible to deploy Ubuntu nodes that have IPv6 enabled.
54
51
  See :doc:`ipv6` for more details.
55
52
56
53
Removal of Celery and RabbitMQ
57
54
  While Celery was found to be very reliable it ultimately did not suit
58
55
  the project's requirements as it is a largely fire-and-forget mechanism.
59
56
  Additionally it was another moving part that caused some headaches for
60
57
  users and admins alike, so the decision was taken to remove it and implement
61
58
  a custom communications mechanism between the region controller and cluster
62
59
  controllers.  The new mechanism is bidirectional and allowed the complex
63
60
  interactions to take place that are required as part of the robustness
64
61
  improvements.
65
62
66
63
  Since a constant connection is maintained, as a side effect the web UI now
67
64
  shows whether each cluster is connected or not.

Support for other OSes
72

  Non-Ubuntu OSes are fully supported now. This includes:
73

   - Windows
74

   - Centos
75

Minor notable changes
78
75
---------------------
79
76
80
77
Better handling of networks.
81
78
  All networks referred to by cluster interfaces are now automatically
82
79
  registered on the Network page.  Any node network interfaces are
83
80
  automatically linked to the relevant Network.
84
81
85
82
Improved logging.
86
83
  A total overhaul of where logging is produced was undertaken, and now
87
84
  all the main events in MAAS are selectively reported to syslog with the
88
85
  "maas" prefix from both the region and cluster controllers alike.  If MAAS
89
86
  is installed using the standard Ubuntu packaging, its syslog entries are
90
87
  redirected to /var/log/maas/maas.log.
91
88
92
89
  On the clusters, pserv.log is now less chatty and contains only errors.
93
90
  On the region controller appservers, maas-django.log contains only appserver
94
91
  errors.
95
92
96
93
Static IP selection.
97
94
 The API was extended so that specific IPs can be pre-allocated for network
98
95
 interfaces on nodes and for user-allocated IPs.
99
96
100
97
Pronounceable random hostnames.
101
98
 The old auto-generated 5-letter names were replaced with a pseudo-random
102
99
 name that is produced from a dictionary giving names of the form
103
100
 'adjective-noun'.
