detailed architecture of components and interactions between them is missing

Documentation Update Required

As you know, there is no detailed description/architectural flow about the components that Uyuni has. If you use Uyuni on the small-scaled infrastructure, it is OK since you don't need to deep dive into each component. But if you use the Uyuni on a large-scaled infrastructure, all you have is large deployments guide. This documentation tells lots of things about tuning but since you don't know the each component on Uyuni(like cobblerd, taskomatic etc.) and the interaction between these components, world becomes a hell for operators like us.

What does the documentation say now?

Documentation is mostly detailed about lots of subjects but components of Uyuni and the interaction between them is missing.

What change is required?

There is no location for Architecture currently, as i know.

It should be better to know the general architecture of components for everyone IMHO.

Hi! We actually do have a new component ready for input in this area. See: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni-docs/tree/master/modules-disabled/architecture

However, despite this topics importance we cannot yet prio it. Thank you for bringing this up. I will add it for a prio review.

thank you! it will be great for such operators that manage large scale infras.
