## {color:red} Consumer Applicability
<span style="color:red;">Using consumer profiles and repo bindings I can compute applicability with 2.y parity
Performance needs to be awesome</span>
<span style="color:red;">\_(Is the Pulp Consumer going away in Pulp 3? If so, is this section still appropriate?)\_</span>
## Migrations only involving Pulp 3
Users can run "pulp-manager migrate" to migrate the database and adjust state in other locations (filesystem, message broker, ...). \[done\]
## Web Server Integration
<span style="color:red;">The content app when deployed with Apache web server or nginx uses their respective features to serve files efficiently.</span>
## Glossary
Repository - A named collection of content.
Artifact - A file associated with one content (unit). Artifacts are not shared between content (units). Create a content unit using an uploaded file ID as the source for its metadata. Create Artifacts associated with the content unit using an uploaded file ID for each; commit as a single transaction.
Content (unit) - A single piece of content manged by Pulp. Each file associated with a content (unit) is called an Artifact. Each content (unit) may have zero or many Artifacts.
Orphan Content (unit): A content unit that is a member of 0 repositories
Orphan Artifact: An Artifact that is associated with 0 Content Units and 0 Publications
