Placement directive

See also: Binding, Constraint

In Juju, a placement directive is an option that can be passed to certain commands to specify a target location.

The syntax is <command> --to <location>, where the command is one of add-machine, add-unit, bootstrap, deploy, enable-ha and the location can be an instance, zone, machine, or subnet, depending on the command and sometimes also the provider.

There is one type of placement directive that can also be used as a constraint: availability zones. If used together, the placement directive takes precedence.
