A space setup defines how a space is technically set up with Magnolia.
It contains one or several Magnolia instances of the same or different type, in addition to other systems required to fulfil the purpose of the space.
Examples of space setups are:
- Since delivery is separated from authoring in a production environment and they are in different networks requiring different attention, they are defined as one space each.
- The live space setup of a high-traffic content product contains many public instances plus a load-balancer, and possibly advanced caches.
- The authoring space setup of a typical website product consists only of a single instance.
- The setup of a review and testing space may initially only consist of a single author instance, as this is sufficient to test all aspects of a new release. It may eventually contain one or two public instances eventually to test some specifics such as a new version of Public User Registration.
- The space dedicated to development and POCs is probably the least defined, since its setup depends largely on the requirements of the development work done.
