Where we draw the line was a topic discussed recently with the JON team. 
The consensus was that the management APIS of the AS need to encompass a 
cluster/domain, while JOPR manages multiple clusters/domain. There is no 
duplication here because both management views (jopr or embedded jopr) 
expose the same capabilities using the same central control point (the 
as profile service management api).

This is for the following reasons:

1) The embedded console needs to be capable of doing it
2) Users/customers need to be able to automate this programmatically 
from their own provisioning tools, scripts etc.
3) Consistency between the cluster configuration and the management view.
4) The cluster manager is in the best position to control rolling 
updates (configuration or deployment).
