Totebox Orchestration
Totebox Orchestration is the layer responsible for provisioning, coordinating, and monitoring individual Totebox instances in a PointSav deployment. A Totebox is an isolated data container that separates active software engines from passive corporate ledgers. The container stores data as inert flat files; cryptographic checksums verify structural integrity on a permanent basis.
When a customer operates more than one Totebox — for example, separate archive containers for contracts, financial records, and correspondence — the orchestration layer ensures each container maintains its own isolated ledger, runs its own integrity verification pass, and reports health status through a unified monitoring surface.
Container isolation
Each Totebox runs as an independent unit. No container shares a ledger directory with any other container. A compromise in one container's asset directory does not propagate to sibling containers, because there is no shared mutable state at the ledger layer.
Integrity verification
The orchestration layer schedules periodic checksum audits across all managed containers. Results are written to a consolidated audit record. Any checksum mismatch raises a flag at the orchestration level before surfacing to the operator.
Provisioning and lifecycle
A new Totebox container is provisioned with a three-directory skeleton — app-console-input/, assets/, and ledger/ — and registered with the orchestration layer at creation time. The orchestration layer tracks container state across its operational lifecycle: active, suspended, or archived.
