Versioning, Lineage & Portability

STRATUM keeps revisions, lineage, topology, and relationships attached to the objects they describe so a workload or datacenter can be reproduced and moved as a system rather than as disconnected files.

CORE MODEL

Revision and lineage

Templates and images are revised rather than silently overwritten. History and lineage let operators identify which version was used and how a reusable artifact was derived.

DETAIL

Portability

Promotion converts a customized VM into reusable Arsenal content. Datacenter export packages the larger topology and relationships. Workload movement changes execution placement without redefining the workload itself.
