Deployment shows successful and healthy even though an allocation is missing

Hey guys,

I have a deployment with a group constraint of distinct hosts and a count of 3, however only two nodes are available (as a test).

When I run the job, it spawns 2 allocations correctly and can’t spawn a third one as seen below:

Latest Deployment
ID          = 63ef8d11
Status      = running
Description = Deployment is running

My questions are:

  • Why does deployment is successful/healthy and shows 3 out of 3? => Even though you can only see 2 allocations in summary/allocations.
  • How is a deployment healthy status defined? Since one allocation failed but is considered healthy?

Thanks
