Interesting. We have been defaulting to production settings, as we don't want to deploy an incorrect/unsafe config in production by omission, especially security related config. I see the motivation of making it easier for people to get going though, but IMO, from an operational standpoint, development defaults are concerning. I think maybe there is a distinction between performance defaults and security defaults, and defaults can be dev on the former, and production on the latter, maybe? > In future, we might designate whole environments as dev, test or > production, so that charms could auto-tune differently. Sounds good, we do something similar manually. Thanks -- Simon -- Juju mailing list Juju@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
