When you use CentraSite for run-time governance, we suggest that you use a two-stage deployment like the one shown below. Note that with this deployment strategy, each instance of CentraSite has its own webMethods Mediator . This configuration creates an air gap between the development and production environments, which completely separates the components that support your production applications and services from those that support development and testing.
