Deployment Oversight

[Merlijn Sebrechts]

I feel you, James

We've been battling with weird issues / compatibility problems with the
manual provider on private infra for the past year. Just finding out where
the problem is requires diving deep into the internals of Juju and the
Charms. In the end, we patched our own servers heavily and had to patch
~30% of the Charms we tried. This slowed us down so much that we just gave
up and moved to MAAS. We're having a lot less problems now..
