Management
==========
+Sets and supersets
+------------------
+
+The Hydra Suite is flexible enough so you can use it to:
+
+* Manage a single machine using `hydractl` command.
+* Manage a set or a subset of machines -- a *network* -- from the same organization using `hydra` command.
+* Manage a superset of machines -- *a constelation* -- comprised of one or more organizations using `hydras` command.
+
Creating a new network
----------------------
hydra example init ~/file/example
hydra example config domain example.org
+This makes `~/files/example` the base folder for all configuration of the network of machines called `example`.
+
