The as-agent Utility as a Seeder

The amount of data that can be stored in a space depends on the number of seeding members of that space. It can be necessary to add seeders to a space to scale it up.

as-agent is a pre-built process that users can run on any host whose sole purpose is to join all distributed spaces in the specified metaspace as a seeder and therefore to add the resources of the machine it is running on to the scalability of the spaces it joins. Agents can also be used to ensure that the desired degree of specified for a space can be achieved.
