Thanks once again for the clarification. I will submit updates to the documentation of the c.g.ipa\_\* modules to convey that distinction to the users.

I just got back from PTO, and was completely disconnected from the world…

The update seems good to me. The only thing I might add (nitpicking here) is that “shell access to one node from the realm is required to manage the deployment”.
