Realm Definition Storage

Each FTL server stores the definition of exactly one realm. However, it stores the realm definition in several different ways.

The diagram illustrates the stored forms of a realm, and the transitions among them (colored arrows).

Realm Definition Storage and Transitions

At any moment, clients and services use the current realm definition to guide their behavior.

The FTL server configuration interfaces can access either of two realm definitions.

Deploying the workspace (green arrows) is a transaction that involves several steps (green arrows). Numbers in the diagram refer to transaction steps in the deploy transaction (for further details, see The Deploy Transaction).
