As technological tapestry, MAAS (Metal-as-a-Service) has definitely woven in intricate automation of physical server provisioning. But why stop at just servers? When I examine the vast landscape of tech around me, from the most potent servers to everyday devices humming in our homes, I see potential uncharted territory, ready for MAAS to explore.
While the default application of MAAS lies in streamlining server deployments, a recent delve into community forums has unearthed fascinating experiments:
But let’s not stop at forums. Let’s journey further and explore MAAS’ potential on a broader scale.
Picture this: A YouTube series titled “Deploying Everything with MAAS”. Far from the humdrum of server setups, this is about unusual deployments – Raspberry Pis, loose laptops, cheap NUCs, home appliances, and more. The idea? Every episode raises the question: “What the heck is stormrider deploying this week?”
Here’s why this vision isn’t just a whimsical fantasy:
That’s not to say that every CPU-enabled piece of hardware out there can be deployed, but we may learn a lot by trying anyway.
To translate vision into reality, we have a budding plan:
The MAAS terrain, vast and not fully charted, beckons. With the envisioned series, we aim to traverse its length and breadth, discovering new horizons.
Should we embark on this expedition? Join us, share your insights, tell us what you think. Let’s consider exploring the full spectrum of what MAAS offers.
