Comment 7 for bug 1394755

The main problem seems to be when all machines in a maas environment are in use, so if a state server goes down, the only way to replace it is to create a new state server on one of the machine already added to the Juju environment.

Now, the mitigating factor is that the environment will still work with one state server down, that's the whole point of HA.... so you can work until you replace the down machine in maas. However, if it seems like it'll be an extended period, you may want to replace the state server sooner rather than later. To core, this seems like an edge case, but landscape wants this ability.

In this case, the easiest fix for core would be to spin up a container on an existing machine in the environment and put a state server in that container... that way the state server won't collide with any existing deployments on that machine, but it still gives us a redundant machine HA.
