Yes, "inverse resources" is what I'm thinking about. Another use-case for this would be to download backups and exports from the Charm. The Kubernetes Charms could also benefit from this since they create a config file that an operator has to download to connect to the Kubernetes cluster.
`juju scp` solves this issue for the most part but 1. it isn't available from the GUI 2. and the files disappear when the node goes down. 2017-04-14 15:55 GMT+02:00 Rick Harding <rick.hard...@canonical.com>: > The delivery of the config files is interesting.
