+### How to configure MAAS to be able to boot virtual machines with virsh
+The libvirt-bin package needs to be installed to get the virsh command
+```bash
+sudo apt-get -y install libvirt-bin
+```
+If you want to use ssh you'll need to generate a ssh key pair for the maas user.
+By default there is no home directory created for the maas user.
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p ~maas
+sudo chown maas:maas ~maas
+```
+Add a login shell for the maas user (we'll only need this for the ssh-copy-id command later;
+if you're putting ssh keys in place manually or using a different mechanism, this step isn't strictly needed):
+```bash
+sudo chsh -s /bin/bash maas
+```
+Generate a SSH keypair as the maas user (hit enter three times to accept the default path and empty password):
+sudo -u maas ssh-keygen
+Generating public/private rsa key pair.
+Enter file in which to save the key (/home/maas/.ssh/id_rsa):
+Created directory '/home/maas/.ssh'.
+Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
+Enter same passphrase again:
+Your identification has been saved in /home/maas/.ssh/id_rsa.
+Your public key has been saved in /home/maas/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
+Then add the public key to ~ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys on the vm server so virsh can use ssh without a password:
+```bash
+sudo -u maas -i ssh-copy-id ubuntu@10.0.0.2
+```
+As the maas user, test virsh commands against libvirt at 10.0.0.2:
+```bash
+sudo -u maas virsh -c qemu+ssh://ubuntu@10.0.0.2/system list --all
+```
