Comment 0 for bug 1973804

I am using maas 3.1.0-10901-g.f1f8f1505 and lxd 5.1.
I made sure virtualisation was activated in my bios and kvm-ok is returning :
>> INFO: /dev/kvm exists
>> KVM acceleration can be used

I tried to add a VM using the CLI and the MAAS UI.

I am trying to create VMs in MAAS following this tutorial https://github.com/antongisli/maas-baremetal-k8s-tutorial/blob/main/maas-setup.sh but I encounter a problem when I run:
>> maas admin vm-host compose $VM_HOST_ID cores=8 memory=2048 architecture="amd64/generic" \
 storage="main:16(pool1)" hostname="juju-controller"
I got the message: "VM host does not support composability."

If I try to add a VM manually through the MAAS UI, I have the error message "Error: An architecture is required."

To reproduce this behavior, run the commands below in the terminal (from https://github.com/antongisli/maas-baremetal-k8s-tutorial/blob/main/maas-setup.sh):

Is it something
