Bug Description
Just talked to pdtpatrick on IRC (#ubuntu-server). It seems that we're presenting the option to set up a MAAS without properly explaining that MAAS is meant to manage physical servers, leaving some with the impression that MAAS will create and manage virtual machines on the fly.
I'm asking pdtpatrick to comment on this bug, explaining what sequence of steps led to an installation without this being made clear).

I went through the documentation (https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ UbuntuCloudInfr astructure) and successfully installed MAAS on my server after downloading the server ISO. Successfully got the UI up and started creating Nodes by generating random MACs.
After hours of troubleshooting, realized that the document had all along expected a server (physical or virtual) to be present that MAAS will provision. I was of the view that it was like AWS where you gave it some details and it created the node for you and returned some information for you to connect with.
Please update documents to reflect prereqs.
Much appreciated,
Patrick
