Chapter 11. Creating a New Configuration Version
Abstract
Creating a new version of the configuration profiles allows you to modify one or more profiles without affecting containers running on a previous version.
Overview
All of the profiles defined for a fabric are collected in one or more versions. Creating a new version allows you to make incremental changes to your profiles without effecting all of the containers running in the fabric. A given container only has access to the profile set from a single version.
When you create a new version, all of the profiles from the parent version are copied into the new version to provide a stable, well known base. Once the new version is created, you can edit the profiles without effecting running containers. Containers must then be migrated to the new version for the profile changes to take effect.

- Select from the main menu.The Profiles page opens.
