This includes various changes across MAAS: * Machine Listing page + Surface progress and failures of hardware tests, actively showing when a test is pending, running, successful or failed. * Machine Details page + Summary tab – Provide hardware testing information about the different components (CPU, Memory, Storage) + Hardware Tests tab – Completely re-design of the Hardware Test tab. It now shows a list of test results per component. Adds the ability to view more details about the test itself. + Storage tab – Ability to view tests results per storage component. ### UI Improvements #### *Machines, Devices, Controllers* MAAS 2.3 beta 1 introduces a new design for the node summary pages: * “Summary tab” now only shows information of the machine, in a complete new design. * “Settings tab” has been introduced. It now includes the ability to edit such node. * “Logs tab” now consolidates the commissioning output and the installation log output. #### *Other UI improvements* Other UI improvements that have been made for MAAS 2.3 beta 1 includes: * **Add DHCP status column on the ‘Subnet’s tab.** * Add architecture filters * Update VLAN and Space details page to no longer allow inline editing. * Update VLAN page to include the IP ranges tables. * Convert the Zones page into AngularJS (away from YUI). * Add warnings when changing a Subnet’s mode (Unmanaged or Managed). ### Rack Controller Deployment MAAS beta 1 now adds the ability to deploy any machine with the rack controller, which is only available via the API. ### API Improvements MAAS 2.3 beta 1 introduces API output for volume\_groups, raids, cache\_sets, and bcaches field to the machines endpoint. ## Known issues: The following are a list of known UI issues affecting hardware testing: * * * * * ## Issues fixed in this release * #1711320 [2.3, UI] Can’t ‘Save changes’ and ‘Cancel’ on machine/device details page * #1696270 [2.3] Toggling Subnet from Managed to Unmanaged doesn’t warn the user that behavior changes * #1717287 maas-enlist doesn’t work when provided with serverurl with IPv6 address * #1718209 PXE configuration for dhcpv6 is wrong * #1718270 [2.3] MAAS improperly determines the version of some installs * #1718686 [2.3, master] Machine lists shows green checks on components even when no tests have been run * #1507712 cli: maas logout causes KeyError for other profiles * #1684085 [2.x, Accessibility] Inconsistent save states for fabric/subnet/vlan/space editing * #1718294 [packaging] dpkg-reconfigure for region controller refers to an incorrect network topology assumption #### Related posts --- [Pedro Lazzarotto](https://canonical.com/blog/author/pedro-lazzarotto) 12 June 2026 ### [A decade of Ubuntu on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE](https://canonical.com/blog/a-decade-of-ubuntu-on-ibm-z-and-ibm-linuxone) Partners Ubuntu tech blog This year we celebrate a decade of Ubuntu Server support on the s390x architecture: marking a long-standing collaboration between Canonical and IBM that began at LinuxCon 2015.
