Bug Description
Customers sometimes ask for Cloud expansions (ie. add more compute or storage nodes). Generally, the process is:
1) Enlist new nodes automatically
2) Rename "New" nodes by parsing mac addresses, and complete power parameters
3) Commission the nodes
4) Manually copy storage/network layouts (clicking around in MaaS UI) and add the same tags
5) Deploy the "Ready" nodes via Juju (ie. juju add-unit)
If the process requires to add tens of nodes, we will spend some time writing a script to come with the same storage/network layouts as already deployed nodes.
I think it would be very useful to have an option (in UI or maascli) to "copy" such layouts from a Ready or Deployed node into another "Ready" node (or a list of nodes in "Ready" state). In order to work, new nodes should have the same amount of discovered drives and interfaces (or more than the ones being copied).

This is to some extent similar to a feature request I filed a while ago: https:/
