  3. Click on the node to open the configuration window.
  4. In the node configuration window, click the Take action button at the top-right conner and select the Deploy item.
  5. Specify the OS, release, and kernel options.
  6. Click Go to start the deployment.

Once the deployment is finished, MAAS will change the node status to Deployed.
