The MAAS cloud and Juju

doc

List of supported clouds > MAAS

This document describes details specific to using your existing MAAS cloud with Juju.

See more: MAAS

When using the MAAS cloud with Juju, it is important to keep in mind that it is a (1) machine cloud and (2) not some other cloud.

See more: Cloud differences in Juju

As the differences related to (1) are already documented generically in our Tutorial, How-to guides, and Reference docs, here we record just those that follow from (2).

I believe --local is outdated

--local  (= false)
    DEPRECATED (use --client): Local operation only; controller not affected

Can it be updated?
Thank you.

consider adding an example to this doc:

clouds:
  this-maas:
    type: maas
    auth-types: [oauth1]
    endpoint: http://10.10.0.16:5240/MAAS/api/2.0

I updated the example YAML config for the clouds configuration to use correctly formatted YAML. I had problems myself when trying to use the old example in the documentation.
