Thanks, Adam.

Playing devil's advocate to my own question here: why isn't this 1 charm broken up into separate charms that handle the different bits of the workflow? It sounds like you'd want to break this up into different charms along lines of modeled responsibility and then deploy using bundles?

Sorry if I'm over-simplifying.

    The team is looking closely at some of our CLI surrounding

    My understanding is that it's a goal to make the management of
    units more consistent, and making the units more homogeneous would
    support this, but I'm wondering from a workload perspective if
    this is also true? One example I could think of to support the
    discussion is a unit being elected leader and thus taking a
    different path through it's workflow than the other units. When it
    comes to resources, maybe this means it pulls a different sub-set
    of the declared resources, or maybe doesn't pull resources at all
    (e.g. it's coordinating the rest of the units or something).


Yes, as a concrete example the Landscape charm[0], does just that and runs different Landscape services on different units, using the leader to decide what goes where. The units are heterogeneous and under the control of the charm.

Cheers,

Adam
