Bug Description
In showing the GUI to users the question of scale always comes up. One of the advantages of Juju is how scaling is built in, however we do not show or highlight that in the GUI. The user can inspect the service, but that has to be done for each service(one at a time) and the number of units can not be seen at once for all services in the canvas view.
This bug is to request services "boxes" on the canvas have a badge that show the number of units behind a given service. With this we can show the scale Juju can produce for the whole environment, and get a graphical representation of how the environment is laid out.
Right now the GUI looks the same if I have 1 Hadoop name-nood or 1000 Hadoop name-nodes. Having the canvas visually show the number of units behind a given service, as in the Hadoop case, is vitally important to graphically representing the environment layout.
-thanks,

This has been discussed quite a bit. I'm going to pass this off to Luca to get some design input on this bug.
