## Overview

There are properties on the domain resource that specify which servers should be running

and which servers should be restarted.

(e.g. using kubectl or the Kubernetes REST api). The operator will notice the changes

It's basically a user-specified string that gets added to new server pods (as a label) so that the operator can tell which servers need to be restarted.
