The localcloud environment is a cloud emulation environment that allows users to run all Cloudify management and application services on their own local machine. Now, the bootstrap-localcloud process starts faster and requires less memory in-order to ... [More] run.  When working in a production environment, each management service starts with its own  JVM so that if any of these services crash, the management machine is able to recover from the damage from the crash. Since working with the localcloud emulation environment does not require that management services run in different JVMs, management services on the localcloud are started in the same JVM and share the allocated memory.  All of this is part of an effort to speed-up the localcloud bootstrap process and  to minimize the machine’s memory prerequisites.  The entire localcloud memory requirement is now substantially smaller and is at around 512MB.
