Description-en: Rack Controller for MAAS
The MAAS rack controller (maas-rackd) provides highly available, fast
and local broadcast services to the machines provisioned by MAAS. You
need a MAAS rack controller attached to each fabric (which is a set of
trunked switches). You can attach multiple rack controllers to these
physical networks for high availability, with secondary rack controllers
automatically stepping to provide these services if the primary rack
controller fails.
.
A common configuration is to have a rack controller in each rack, with
a fast primary network interface to the rack switch and secondary
network interfaces on one or two other nearby racks for high
availability redundancy.
.
This package depends on the necessary components to provide iSCSI,
DHCP, TFTP and power management.
