This is intentional. We can do a better job explaining it. remove is intended for things you can redo safely, like a relation or an application you can redeploy. Destroy is for things that really involve a loss that isn’t recoverable. If you destroy a model it’s gone. Same with controller.
This is possible using the --map-existing flag on the bundle deployment command. https://docs.jujucharms.com/2.5/en/charms-bundles#recycling-machines
Is this from the CLI? Normally I think we find it easier to use the webui for browing large bits of content like the readme/relations/etc. I’m curious on what you’d like to see here for potential future updates.
So you should be able to filter juju status with the application name and the unit name.
juju status mysql
juju status mysql/0
There’s a new command landed for 2.6 that is
juju show-application mysql
And we use show-xxx as a general concept so you can use
juju show-machine 0
Agree this would be a nice thing to have.
