Roaming server configuration

Data roaming offers consistent experience for a user who roams between Kylin V10 cloud desktops. A roaming server provides the data roaming service for Kylin V10 cloud desktops. When a user create or edit its user configuration file on a Kylin V10 cloud desktop, the user configuration file is saved to the shared storage used by the roaming server. The user will obtain the user configuration file when logging in to another Kylin V10 cloud desktop.

Only ARM64 management nodes support roaming server configuration.
