What is stored in an instance?

The correct choice indicates that an instance stores all deployed sources and business data. In the context of the Avaloq Integrated Customization Environment (ICE), an instance is essentially a specific configuration of the software that includes both the application code that has been deployed (often compiled) and the operational data that the application relies on during its execution.

This encompasses not only the source code but also compiled binaries, configuration files, modules, and all the business data that the application manipulates, such as client information, transaction histories, and other relevant datasets. The integration of these elements allows for the seamless functioning of the financial services provided by the Avaloq software.

The inclusion of both deployed sources and business data is crucial because, in a banking or financial context, the ability to manage operational and transactional data effectively is just as important as managing the underlying source code that processes this data. Therefore, having a comprehensive storage of both aspects within an instance is essential for successful implementation and operation of the Avaloq system.
