For +OpenStack, JOID currently supports Newton and Ocata. For SDN, it supports +Openvswitch, OpenContrail, OpenDayLight, and ONOS. In addition to HA or non-HA +mode, it also supports deploying from the latest development tree. + +JOID heavily utilizes the technology developed in Juju and MAAS. + +Juju_ is a state-of-the-art, open source modelling tool for operating software +in the cloud. Juju allows you to deploy, configure, manage, maintain, and scale +cloud applications quickly and efficiently on public clouds, as well as on +physical servers, OpenStack, and containers. You can use Juju from the command +line or through its beautiful `GUI <JUJU GUI_>`_. +(source: `Juju Docs <https://jujucharms.com/docs/2.2/about-juju>`_) + +MAAS_ is *Metal As A Service*. It lets you treat physical servers like virtual +machines (instances) in the cloud. Rather than having to manage each server +individually, MAAS turns your bare metal into an elastic cloud-like resource. +Machines can be quickly provisioned and then destroyed again as easily as you +can with instances in a public cloud. ... In particular, it is designed to work +especially well with Juju, the service and model management service. It's a +perfect arrangement: MAAS manages the machines and Juju manages the services +running on those machines. +(source: `MAAS Docs <https://docs.ubuntu.com/maas/2.1/en/index>`_) + +Typical JOID Architecture +------------------------- +The MAAS server is installed and configured on Jumphost with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS +server with access to the Internet. Another VM is created to be managed by +MAAS as a bootstrap node for Juju. The rest of the resources, bare metal or +virtual, will be registered and provisioned in MAAS. And finally the MAAS +environment details are passed to Juju for use. + +.. TODO: setup diagram + + +..
