In example below, we have ADF Domain installed in Development, QA and Production environments, they are 3 physical installations of WebLogic domain, but we can logically call it ADF Instance in FlexDeploy topology. This allows us to perform deployments against specific instance in specific environment. For example, you can deploy new version of EAR file to ADF in Development or ADF in QA etc. Similarly other technology installations like SOA, CRM application and Database are considered Instances in FlexDeploy topology.
