Re-provisioning nodes depending on the time of day
Registered by
Julian Edwards
Consider the typical office where many workers leave for the day and leave their PCs switched on overnight. MAAS could re-provision these during non-office hours to use as another resource and then put them back as desktop machines in the morning before the workers arrive in the office.

Whiteboard
Scenario:
Office workers go home and company needs to do a lot of overnight processing. Can make use of unsused nodes to handle the processing.
How?
Perhaps Landscape can reboot on a schedule. Node is already allocated in MAAS. Landscape script sets net boot on in MAAS and MAAS pxe boots to a node resource.
Issues:
Does MAAS Node write to the HD on the machine? If so how to restore old state? Hibernate from desktop?
(?)
