Version

In MAAS, version refers to an instance’s version and supported capabilities. This helps administrators verify the running version and available features.

Example

For example, you can use the MAAS CLI to retrieve the current instance version and a short (probably truncated) list of notable capabilities:

maas $PROFILE version read

(Replace $PROFILE with your MAAS profile, usually admin.)

Example output

{
  "version": "3.2.6 (8577-g.c8e1e20f3)",
  "capabilities": [
    "compose",
    "networking",
    "storage",
    "testing"
  ]
}

Example interpretation

• "version" – The MAAS version and build details.
• "capabilities" – Available features:
  • "compose" – Create and manage composed machines.
  • "networking" – Advanced network control.
  • "storage" – Storage configuration tools.
  • "testing" – Built-in hardware testing.
