Hi Patrik,

If you're looking for a repeatable way to deploy and test juju models/environments, you can also take a look at Mojo: https://mojo.canonical.com/

It allows you deploy specific versions of your code and charms, then run a specified set of tests after deployment. We use Mojo to deploy a large number of our juju environments. We test the deploy with Jenkins, and then (provided the CI deploy/test passes) deploy that commit/revision of the mojo spec to production. It's a good way to see how reproducible your environment is.
