Re: [Q] What is MaaS?

 

hi kevin and mikyung

i must learn all :) to educate the member which i try to develop it
(openstack-id).

and now try to link openstack to education, start with our PaaS
initiative under JENI (JAva Education).

the basic idea of baremetal is to boot using PXE,

any idea recommended hardware to start this baremetal testing?
