[Kea-users] Kea 1.6 Configuration Backend

Hello:

The Configuration Backend is a Kea Support Subscriber-level hook library 
which provides RESTful commands for managing the configuration 
elements.  It is described in the Administration Reference Manual here:

https://kea.readthedocs.io/en/v1_6_0/arm/hooks.html#cb-cmds-configuration-backend-commands

We do not recommend (nor support) people directly manipulating the data 
in the our schema. The CB library provides application logic to make 
sure things stay sane and isolates users from future schema changes.

For more information on Kea support subscriptions, start here:

Cheers,

Thomas Markwalder
