  Question:
  Is this using juju for direct deployment, or via Orchestra? -- Daviey
  
  Via Orchestra. I think the main thing to test is juju because of it's
  reliance on java with zookeeper. We don't need to discuss anything, just
  test and fix bugs. -- Robbie
  
+ For juju to work on ARM, I am assuming that:
+ 
+ 1. ARM hardware will support IPMI for power management
+ 2. ARM hardware will support pxelinux emulation for boot
+ 3. cobbler's existing IPMI support will work with ARM IPMI
+ 
+ Status:
+ There are two modes of operation: running juju in a local environment, and running juju via orchestra. juju currently fails to run on ARM in a local environment, and I am working on this - but this is blocking me from clearing the first five work items. Now that I have three pandas, I can test juju via orchestra also. I expect either to clear the first four work items as soon as I get juju working like this, or to find a series of ARM-specific bugs that I will need to fix first.

  Work Items:
- [racb] Test juju/java/zookeeper on ARM: TODO
- Investigate running the juju provisioning agent on ARM: TODO
- [racb] Investigate juju and ARM on LXC: TODO
- Investigate juju with qemu-system-arm for testing: POSTPONED
- Binary image deployment with PXE on ARM: POSTPONED
- [racb] Investigate running the juju machine agent on ARM: TODO
- Investigate running an ARM-based juju environment: TODO
