+# Juju Asyncronous API #
+
+## Proposer ##
+- Adam Israel
+
+## Type ##
+**Feature**
+
+## Target MDG/TF ##
+SO
+
+## Description ##
+
+As of R2, the SO is using the older syncronous Juju API. This can lead the SO
+to appear "frozen" while it blocks waiting for a Juju operation to complete.
+
+To address this issue, we would like the SO to convert to using
+[libjuju](https://github.com/juju/python-libjuju) python library. It offers
+the following benefits:
+- Asynchronous, using the asyncio and async/await features of python 3.5+
+- Websocket-level bindings are programmatically generated (indirectly) from the
+Juju golang code, ensuring full api coverage
+- Provides an OO layer which encapsulates much of the websocket api and
+provides familiar nouns and verbs (e.g. Model.deploy(), Application.add_unit(),
+etc.)
+
+## Demo or definition of done ##
+Demos of using libjuju can be found in the
+[quickstart](https://github.com/juju/python-libjuju#quickstart) and in the
+[examples](https://github.com/juju/python-libjuju/tree/master/examples) folder.
+
+Here is a simple implementation that deploys a charm:
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/python3.5
+
+import asyncio
+import logging
+
+from juju import loop
+from juju.model import Model
+
+
+async def deploy():
+    # Create a Model instance. We need to connect our Model to a Juju api
+    # server before we can use it.
+    model = Model()
+
+    # Connect to the currently active Juju model
+    await model.connect_current()
+
+    # Deploy a single unit of the ubuntu charm, using revision 0 from the
+    # stable channel of the Charm Store.
+    ubuntu_app = await model.deploy(
+        'ubuntu-0',
+        application_name='ubuntu',
+        series='xenial',
+        channel='stable',
+    )
+
+    # Disconnect from the api server and cleanup.
+    model.disconnect()
+
+
+def main():
+    # Set logging level to debug so we can see verbose output from the
+    # juju library.
+    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
+
+    # Quiet logging from the websocket library. If you want to see
+    # everything sent over the wire, set this to DEBUG.
+    ws_logger = logging.getLogger('websockets.protocol')
+    ws_logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+
+    # Run the deploy coroutine in an asyncio event loop, using a helper
+    # that abstracts loop creation and teardown.
+    loop.run(deploy())
+
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+    main()
+```
