HTTP boot in MAAS

Couple of notes on the update by Bill

  • I would simply state that MAAS supports booting over TFTP or HTTP, whatever your firmware supports. Users don’t really care what the state of different vendors, they just want their hardware to work.
  • I’m not sure how much we want to reveal WRT to what hardware we’re testing with.
  • I don’t think showing the grub output really adds anything. I wrote a discourse post before you joined about it - MAAS Internal URLs
  • On every platform except S390X once the boot loader loads the kernel and initrd are transferred over HTTP.
