Chapter 4. Changing a Container's Configuration
Abstract
Adding and deleting profiles changes the configuration of a container.
A container is defined by the profiles deployed into it. A profile can tell the container:
- what bundles to load
- how to configure its runtime
A container can have one or more profiles active at a time.
To configure a container you add profiles to and delete profiles from a container.
