Detailed Bcfg2 Architecture

Bcfg2 is based on a client-server architecture. The client is responsible for interpreting (but not processing) the configuration served by the server. This configuration is literal, so no local process is required. After completion of the configuration process, the client uploads a set of statistics to the server. This section will describe the goals and then the architecture motivated by it.
