Application
An Application is an element that describes a program that the system can deploy. As such, every program you want to deploy must be defined by an Application element. You can specify the application type, whether it has a management protocol (only applies to application type Game), give it a name, a website, description, etc.
Application types
An Application can be one of four types:
- a game server (type: Game)
- a utility / sidecar (type: Utility)
- a dependency installer (type: DependencyInstaller)
- a dependency un-installer (type: DependencyUninstaller)

Relations
Every program we deploy with the platform will be defined by an Application element. The Application element is at the top of the application related hierarchy. It gives everything related to an Application an identity:
Additional application specific properties are provided through the ApplicationProperty element. An Application can have zero or more ApplicationProperty elements.
