Description

A profile consists in:

• profile attributes
• property configurations
• binary configurations

Profile attributes contains:

• a list of parent profiles
• a list of features
• a list of bundles
• additional attributes

Profile attributes and property configurations can "overlay", i.e. they can be overridden or complemented on child profiles.

Profiles can be used to create children instances or generate configurations.
