I am just curious how others are intending to use Stage Manager. My intent is to use it to make quick copies of production for things like testing patch deployment, and duplicating production environments for testing. I don't however want to have to bring my production environment down in order to make a clone in the fenced environment. That being the case, would I import all of my servers into Stage Manager, and build all new servers through Stage Manager, promote them to production, and leave them in there. That way when I want a quick copy I just create a delta copy from the original. I realize there will be some performance degradation, and my stage manager environment could grow quite large. Just wondering if the intent of Stage Manage was to house a copy of all production machines so they can be quickly deployed into test environments.
