Stone b250326272 Deployment Configuration
Address review comments from previous patch. Also implemented abbreviations as substitutions
in docs/doc/source/shared/strings.txt. NB: This doc still to be reconciled against existing
install/deploy content.

Restored fault/index version of FM toctree in top-level index.

Removed Fault Management from top-level index.

====================================
Worker Function Performance Profiles
====================================
|prod| offers a choice of two performance profiles for worker hosts
configurable at the Kubernetes platform level.
**Standard**
This is the default profile, offering an optimal balance between throughput,
latency and functionality. The standard profile is suitable for most
applications.
**Low Latency**
This profile is optimized for low-latency performance. Characteristics of a
low-latency worker host include:
- lower throughput for most configurations
- higher power consumption at low CPU utilization
- disabled per-CPU scheduler watchdogs. This can result in increased
fault detection time for some fault scenarios.
|org| recommends the low-latency profile only for applications with
stringent latency constraints such as |MEC|.
You can create a heterogeneous configuration in which standard and low-latency
worker hosts are mixed in the same standard deployment. Standard and
low-latency worker nodes are identified with node labels. When launching a
container, you can choose the required performance profile by specifying the
appropriate label in the node-selector.
