Development Summary - June 8th

[Blake Rouse]

We are currently working on machine network configuration and overall
network configuration in the viscera part of the library that gets exposed
through the client Facade.

Example:

client = await login('http://localhost:5240/MAAS', 'admin', 'password')
fabric = await client.fabrics.get_default()
vlan = fabric.vlans.get_default()
vlan.mtu = 9000
await vlan.save()

machines = await client.machines.list()
for machine in machines:
    boot_interface = machine.boot_interface
    boot_interface.vlan = vlan
    await boot_interface.save()

Creating bonds, vlan interfaces, and bridges will come as well.
