Can a single Remote-deployment management server be used to connect to and manage multiple separate test environments, or does each environment need its own dedicated management server?

Answer

Technically this can work by maintaining a separate ifsroot folder structure per environment and switching the KUBECONFIG context every time you connect to a different cluster's environment — though this isn't confirmed as an officially supported configuration, just a technically workable one. There's an undocumented helper script (set_remote_envs.cmd, in the installer folder) that sets KUBECONFIG and the default namespace automatically for a correctly-structured ifsroot, but it comes with no error handling or official support, so treat it as a convenience shortcut rather than a guaranteed-reliable tool.
