Cannot update cloud regions usable by a controller

[Martin Hilton]

When bootstrapping a controller the cloud information, including supported regions, are written into the controller's database. When additional regions become available for the cloud then there is no mechanism for the information in the controller's database to be updated.

Are you sure that "juju update-clouds" doesn't also check if the cloud
information on the server is up to date? It may not, but it might.

The issue is that the controller end doesn't get updated. Doesn't update-clouds just work on the client? The issue the JAAS team has is that as the controllers are long running they don't get new cloud region information as part of upgrades and so the cached list of available regions the controller can speak isn't updated in any easy to reach mechanism.

From 2.5.2 you can use the 'juju update-cloud --controller <controller>' command. This updates the cloud information on the controller.

See 'juju update-cloud --help' for further information.

I misspoke, part of this is fixed but there is still some work left so that changes are realised. Sorry for the noise.

Added support for maas, openstack, lxd to notice update-cloud has been run and react accordingly.
