Hi Luca,

Hi Luca,

Unfortunately dbconfig is sort of out in no mans land... and potentially
going to be dropped in favour of a different non hibernate based solution.
See recent proposals from Gabriel.

Although if a developer were interested in maintaining the module it could
be brought back to life. That said some comments inline.

Correct, although i guess it could be possible to configure a distributed

Correct. There are actually a few things that are not, security being one
of them. Style files and SLD's being another.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning

also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
