MaaS ( Metal as a Service) Provisioning
With a simple web interface, you can add,
commission, update and recycle your servers at will. As your needs change, you
can respond rapidly, by adding new nodes and dynamically re-deploying them
between services. When the time comes, nodes can be retired for use outside the
MAAS.
MaaS ( Metal as a Service) Provisioning
Metal as a Service
brings the language of the cloud to physical servers. It makes it easy to set
up the hardware on which to deploy any service that needs to scale up and down
dynamically; a cloud being just one example.
It lets you provision
your servers dynamically, just like cloud instances – only in this case,
they’re whole physical nodes. “Add another node to the Hadoop cluster, and make
sure it has at least 16GB RAM” is as easy as asking for it.

COBBLER
Ubuntu uses cobbler as
the preferred provisioning server for Ubuntu machines. Cobbler can be used to
deploy Ubuntu Server for both, bare-metal machines and Virtual Machines. PXE
Booting is the method used to deploy Ubuntu Server in bare-metal. Virtual
Machines can be deployed both with PXE booting, and with koan, which is part of
cobbler.
