Machine and Unit numbering
Within a model Juju keeps track of sequences for machines and units. (Prior to 1.25 just machines). This means that for the life of a model, the number associated with a machine will only ever increase. For example:
juju add-machine # Add machine 0 juju add-machine # Add machine 1 juju terminate-machine # Remove machine 1 juju add-machine # Add machine 2
From 1.25 onwards unit numbering follows the same scheme. For each application name the number will only every increase. For example:
juju deploy mongodb -n 2 # Adds units 0,1 juju remove-application mongodb # Removed units 0,1 juju deploy mongodb -n 2 # Adds units 2,3
Prior to 1.25 units would only ever increase for a single application. If you removed the application and created a new one of the same name the numbering would start again from 0.
