Obviously this is a bit sucky, because you then have to run all your juju commands from there, but it's an option until manual bootstrapping comes along. I am in the process of implementing manual bootstrapping and a "null" provider. The null provider does nothing (surprised?) other than manage storage at the bootstrap node. The bootstrap node is created via manual bootstrapping. At least, that's how it is in my sandbox.

Minimum barrier of entry. > I have had similar thoughts of listing IPs, but it's probably not worthwhile. There'd be a bunch of work involved to store the dynamic set of IPs somewhere in state (environments.yaml isn't really suitable, it's static), and you'd *have* to have password-less ssh and sudo. The intention with the current approach is to be able to prime a machine with juju add-machine, and then later when you deploy a charm, juju will pick one of those machines.
