See https://github.com/openstack-charmers/zaza/issues/401 for more details.
Essentially, a deploy can fail (particularly with a big model), if a single charm fails to deploy from the charm store. This is probably a transient situation, so it would be good if it could be retried at least a couple of times to allow a deployment to complete.
e.g. log from zaza:
