Hi Andy, My preference would also be to keep the .yml scoped to flows, and keep instance config in a .properties file.
When we get further along the C2 roadmap, both of these should be updatable via C2 interactions.

What we do in minificpp will hopefully be aligned with what we do in minifi-java and hopefully minifi-java just becomes an assembly of nifi.
