Broker Pools

A broker pool is a collection of one or many brokers. All brokers of similar resources are part of a broker pool. For example, all Windows server-related brokers are part of one broker pool. Broker pools are created and managed by Britive. 

The broker pool token is used in starting/registering a broker with Britive.  Every broker pool can have a maximum of three tokens and two tokens at a time can be active. A default broker token is created for each new broker pool.
