I agree. Having the power-on command to be a subset of deploy in some cases (i.e. when the machine is Allocated) is just confusing.
Although, to be fair, they don't seem to quite do the same thing. If I deploy a machine without any parameters, the UI shows "Deploy 18.04 LTS', and the deployment succeeds. If I power on an allocated node, the UI shows "Deploying /" and the deployment fails for some reason.
