Running maas status in the MAAS CLI provides an overview of key services. Understanding these services is essential for management and troubleshooting:
- Regiond (Region Controller): Manages the MAAS environment, handling API requests, PostgreSQL, DNS, caching, and the web UI.
- Rackd (Rack Controller): Manages physical machines, providing DHCP, TFTP, and power control under the region controller.
- Bind9 (DNS): Provides domain name resolution for managed machines.
- DHCPD (DHCP): Assigns IP addresses during commissioning and deployment.
- TFTP: Transfers boot images for PXE booting.
- NTP: Synchronizes system clocks for accurate logging and coordination.
- HTTP (Nginx): Acts as a reverse proxy and serves the MAAS web interface.
- Proxy (Squid): Caches frequently accessed data to optimize network efficiency.
Monitoring these services with maas status ensures smooth infrastructure operation.
