What basic services are you missing in the charm store?

[Charles Butler]

I haven't seen this mentioned, but one of Juju's core strengths in the area
of cloud
competency thats oft overlooked is using juju from a cloud to drive juju
(maybe drive
the same environment from within the cloud) for use in pairing on
development and
maintenance. DHX solves some of this but you still wind up having to sync
environment
credentials over, jenvs, etc.

It would be nice to have a "pairing in the box" solution setup that deploys
the full stack
ready to drive itself, so you can do pair development on a charm and get
realtime
feedback straight from the authoritative cloud you are working on.

This is something we do in new workloads fairly often, and solves some of
the problems
we see with "works on my kvm box" story but falls short when you go to work
on say, AWS.

This may be too localized and something we invest a half day on internally
to scratch the itch
of not having to scp over a ton of files to just get started (Read: 10 - 20
minute time savings vs fully
missing feature for an environment)
