Site concept

A site is a place on the network where application workloads are running. Sites are joined by links.

The site model

A site is associated with one platform and one network. Each site has zero or more workloads and zero or more links.

Sites operate on multiple platforms. One site corresponds to one namespace in a platform instance. Sites can be added to a network and removed from a network dynamically.

Each site has a Skupper router which is responsible for communicating with the local workloads and forwarding traffic to routers in remote sites.
