Units & resources: are units homogeneous?

Tue Feb 16 18:20:02 UTC 2016

Hey All,

The team is looking closely at some of our CLI surrounding resources, 
and an interesting question came up: should units be considered homogeneous?

My understanding is that it's a goal to make the management of units 
more consistent, and making the units more homogeneous would support 
this, but I'm wondering from a workload perspective if this is also 
true? One example I could think of to support the discussion is a unit 
being elected leader and thus taking a different path through it's 
workflow than the other units. When it comes to resources, maybe this 
means it pulls a different sub-set of the declared resources, or maybe 
doesn't pull resources at all (e.g. it's coordinating the rest of the 
units or something).

I'm curious what people are seeing out in the field, and hearing 
opinions too.

Thanks :)
