[@jhfjhfkf]

thank you for a great video, easy enough explanation to someone who just jumped into this video with no prior understanding or idea of the industry

[@habibseedi8212]

thanks I really learn a lot from your lectus. you are best instructor I have ever met. your explanation is really easy to understand. again thanks a lot

[@spookytook]

Please keep uploading videos. I really appreciate them!

[@MestreDentistaGUC]

Thank you, Eli. I am definitely one of those old techies now trying to keep up with modern computing, lol!

[@Nostic777]

I enjoy learning from you. Thanks!

[@marcussaroop]

You certainly had your crystal ball shiny and clean. Now everyone is going this.

[@scottstandell]

Thanks Eli, great video!

[@cfnfl]

I am a total beginner with all this stuff but you put it forward i in a very understandable way. i have a little knowledge about servers and have a buddy who works as a data centre engineer but till now didn't quite understand his job

[@cfleshner]

Maas Installation, for Linux has things like "Fabrics", and "Spaces" which are IMHO really important concepts that can help to further define the Maas Architecture. It is worth looking into that as well - as far as the "cool" factor goes. You can install Maas using your own baremetal!

[@superspectator123]

Thank you. Well explained.

[@Calm_Energy]

Eli is providing education as a service EaaS.

[@dipesh2359]

good work eli.....thanks.....

[@filipelopes5591]

love it. keep going

[@raykaul]

Great job Eli for breaking it down ..

[@raykaul]

Yea... I love this one.. Because years ago we drove 5 hours to Cape Cod to vacation..and the most fun they had was jumping up and down on the beds ..

[@Peterstevoli]

Good stuff, Thank you.

[@obad82011]

Thank you Eli, that was a clear vedio

[@theonetrueac]

So yea I know this video is a couple years old at this point, but I'm sitting here wondering if the entire time I have been leasing servers, have I been getting metal as a service? The reason why I'm wonder this is because I've always had access to iDRAC or iLO cards, on every single dedicated server I've leased.

[@ladroke]

Hey Eli, could you talk about Speed Metal as a Service (SMaaS)? I'm looking for hosting solutions for bleeding-edge Pantera albums.

[@ps2050]

great point regarding compliance and security - that drives businesses to get metal as a service.

[@ps2050]

+ Eli the Computer Guy - is it possible to post an update to the video with regards to how MaaS is doing in the industry? Thanks.

[@RecycleBin0]

dust as a service

[@ahuman307]

/dev/null as a service

[@jeffnew1213]

Hey, Eli, how about Desktops as a Service (DasS)? (It's sort of what I do.)

[@PipatMethavanitpong]

1: I like the concept. This practice would be better if rate of changing cpu socket is slower. 2: What are SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS in 2 minutes, and it is easier to understand than reading Wikipedia. Good Job : )

[@SalmanSaleemkma]

Thumbs up!

[@VATechAlum]

Another fabulous job Eli!

[@tylerwatt12]

instead of IPKVM, wouldn't iLo/iDrac work the same?

[@ivaniliev93]

there is also BaaS (Backend as a service)

[@HessamYusuf]

I've posted the same question on that video tutorial but didn't get any reply or help.. so please reply here.. :)

[@klaussalazar7635]

Hi, anybody can tell me how import virtual machines created from vmware to ubuntu maas? please help.

[@undercaos]

Aileeeeeeeeee !!!! I love her !! XDDD

[@dodobanful]

there is BaaS also :)

[@zweiosterei]

So there is IaaS, PaaS, MaaS and SaaS right? That's not confusing, not confusing at all.

[@pramodtete1234]

good

[@ytekleab]

Are there any companies providing MaaS now?

[@stockjonebills]

***** Exactly. Tech world loves their acronyms.

[@JohnLeonardinJapan]

How about Eli-as-a-service? :-)

[@nebulousstriker7640]

Hahahahaha!

[@DubarRodriguez]

I guess hacking PDUs and KVMs over IP will be the next Hackers' nirvana.

[@shayanchaudhary8613]

Jason Statham's doing part time job. Dyyaaam. times really are bad.

[@jonlaban4272]

Imagine this .... Telcos Central Offices become Edge Data Centres and they sell MaaS to the public cloud service providers. So now those hyperscale data centres up in the NORDICs no longer have a latency problem with a user in London because the user is always within a 4 mile radius of the Central Office (Telephone Exchange). A new revenue stream for the Telcos who's revenue streams have previously been cannibalised by the hyperscallers

[@dedededanny]

Dumb question: how would you install an os remotely? You don't have access to a cd drive or usb port...

[@kardas666]

company most likely has an image server with popular OS images on their network provisioned throuh pxe or the like for first install, then you would create your own maas server implementation (citrix or ubuntu maas f.e.) and populate it with images you need, and provision your servers throuh pxe yourself.

[@salvadorguntherr9673]

PXE installs. Which are installs that happen over the network (ie all you need is a server/another computer withthe image and ethernet) Gonna have to do this on my Thinkpad soon enough

[@tadeumazier706]

Yes PXE but launched into a virtual machine, but not locally, the PXE starts on a remote XEN Hypervisor as such, and to access it connects via SSH, RDP ...

[@SerottaPDX]

whoa, that took a weird turn...

[@sanketsvnus]

Any known vendor providing Metal as Service ?

[@tadeumazier706]

Ubuntu from 16.04 LTS server

[@olivier0073]

I started laughing at ,the default installation of whatever you are using...as if there is no design before deployment whatever that system is ) at 5 minutes

[@betterwithrum]

so... containers...

[@frfweb]

I like you man, but this one is wrong, wrong explanation, wrong examples maybe wrong understanding of maas, but don't take this the wrong way man, I like you, just make this right

[@gerff01]

It is close enough for a "dumbed down" explanation. Do you expect a channel like this, directed at non professionals, to go into the hardcore details of a solution? He hit the basics, gave those who wish to learn enough information to get them started, and that is the entire purpose of these vids. Have you seen the rest of his materials, really? Because they are ALL for this purpose. He isn't going to go into deep tech details or specific implementations.

[@frfweb]

ok Gerff, I know, and I like the guy, my point was valid though, however my tone may have not, so sorry guys, as I mentioned in my first comment I was frustrated by google io already...lol, so it came out wrong. Anyway sorry to you and Eli. keep it on Eli!

[@nuthiprashanth]

ok......then what is "monitoring as a service"
