Re: New image build infrastructure enabled

 

Hi Colin,

That is very interesting happening and very cool.
Is the infrastructure of the image deployment going
to be kept in MAAS| Cloud | Ubuntu or Canonical.
This new cloud thing has amazed me a little since
it adds in a lots new possibilities for us all.
Since live image building can be done directly at MAAS with juju.
