Oh? I'm sure 16.10 will be great but there's a bunch of things coming in 16.04 which have me excited!

You should probably start with Juju docs on setting up an environment with MAAS as a "provider"

Where are you getting the stats that majority of the cloud is RHEL/CentOS?
Published stats [1] show that Ubuntu dominates cloud deployments.

To be honest, Intel's AMT is a bit of a PITA, but the Orange Boxes were assembled to have some resemblance to real racks of hardware. So remote out of band power control is essential.
There's something quite magical about using Juju and MAAS on the Orange Boxes and seeing the LEDs light up as you scale out a service (e.g. juju add-unit -n 5 nova-compute).

One key difference is that MAAS is free as in beer and free as in speech. It's great for private clouds.

The redirect I found on https://www.google.com seems like it did have a whitelist. Luckily youtube.com was on the whitelist, so I could re-use the exploit from there. So even whitelists aren't totally safe (and YouTube isn't using the redirect for known friendly sites - seems to be more for tracking purposes).
