What is MAAS?

MAAS (Metal as a Service) is a tool that allows you to treat physical servers like virtual machines in the cloud. It automates server provisioning and management, enabling you to quickly deploy and redeploy operating systems onto bare metal hardware. It is commonly used for creating dynamic infrastructure for development, testing, and production environments, particularly in scenarios where virtualization is not desired or feasible, such as high-performance computing or environments requiring direct hardware access.
