Does the Remote-deployment management server (the VM used for installer tooling and file-server duties) need to be running at all times for the IFS Cloud application itself to keep working?

All FAQ questions / Developer Studio, deployment, and upgrades

Answer

No — the containerized middle tier has no runtime dependency on the management server being up; the application keeps functioning normally if the management server is down. Some customers do repurpose the management server as a file server backing the storage-server container, in which case that specific usage would be affected, but a dedicated file server managed separately from installer/management tooling is generally the better setup precisely to avoid coupling application file-storage availability to the management server's uptime.
