What does the Administrative Console do?

The Admin console allows us to start and stop a VAA.  It shows all configurations a VAA has in graphical tabs and has some convenient features.  For instance, it allows you to dynamically manage IP address with a running app.  The IP address could be the same everywhere the VAA goes or the admin console allows you to set the address dynamically when the VAA is brought to a new machine.  It helps you to deal with networking concerns when you scale up so each server would have its own IP address.  Very simple to do.  So, the Admin Console:

• Gives full control and monitoring of all VAA operations
• Displays VAA configuration and allows for changes at time of deployment
• Supports convenient features such as setting an IP address dedicated to the VAA
