change: new,reload,reserved, etc) is forked.

Thanks for the scalability info. I had one more question: does the
vcld component benefit from multiple cores? In other words, is the
vcld component multithreaded?
Thanks!

Good question.
It's hard to put an exact number on it because of the different types of
resources that can be made available(vm,bare-metal,lab machines), but we
should be able to get theoretically close.
Correct - multiple management nodes is an important part of the scaling. So

Hi Brian,
I'm not certain of the exact numerics, however I do believe support for
multiple management nodes (vcld's) is an intentional scale-out approach.
Perhaps some of the guys @ NCSU know this one, I believe their VCL instance
is currently the largest one in production.
