The deployment monitor is getting stuck because there isn’t a deployment created when the count is zero. I think we should either automatically set the count to 1 when deploying if it’s zero or we should exit early. I’ll admit deploying when the count is zero is something we haven’t tested much. We’ll figure out how to get it working in a way you’d expect.
