I'm still not sure what a 'Component' is, nor how an Outline and Blueprint differ, but I'm not going to protest it. > Deployable -> AppForm Blueprint > Deployment -> AppForm My thoughts on the term 'AppForm' aside, I like this approach. "Deployable" and "Deployment" frequently get mixed up, even (especially?) by people who know how they differ. Having a $foo and a $foo Blueprint makes this much more intuitive and easy to keep straight, at least for me. > Pool Family/Environment-> Cloud Environment > Pool -> Resource Zone > Provider -> Cloud Resource Provider > > Hardware Profile -> Hardware Profile > Provider Realm -> Provider Realm > Frontend Realm -> Frontend Realm > Image -> Image > Assembly -> Assembly > Instance -> Instance > Catalog -> Catalog > Config Server -> Config Server > > Please respond with +1 or objections. +1 from me. I don't love some of these names, but I think overall they are less-bad than current names, and converging on consistent terminology with the product is a big win. -- Matt
