# Concepts

This section covers the key concepts behind Rumi Management.

* [Architecture](/rumi-management/concepts/architecture.md) — how the management components relate and the two architectural flows (CnC and telemetry).
* [Deployment Lifecycle](/rumi-management/concepts/deployment-lifecycle.md) — what a System is; the lifecycle verbs (provision → deploy → configure → launch → shutdown → deprovision); invocation via script DSL, interactive mode, or REST.
* [Deployment Model](/rumi-management/concepts/deployment-model.md) — the Controller's in-memory model of discovered containers, services, and their bus connections, built from lifecycle events and queryable by embedders.
* [Command and Control](/rumi-management/concepts/command-and-control.md) — ad-hoc operations against running systems, directed at apps, engines, the JVM, or the host.
* [Scripting](/rumi-management/concepts/scripting.md) — the script DSL as a language: nouns, verbs, control flow, examples, and ways to run scripts.
* [Telemetry Model](/rumi-management/concepts/telemetry-model.md) — the three signal types (telemetry, lifecycle events, alerts), their dispositions, the session and passive modes, and stat categories.
