 Can anyone let me know what is the exact definition of a Instance in Appian?

It can have multiple statuses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In general an Appian instance for me sounds more like a&amp;nbsp;complete Appian platform. A customer for different reasons might have multiple Appian instances (for example one in the cloud and one on premise, or two different on premise Appian instances, which is not usual but can happen)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Instance in Appian</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/75317?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2020 09:56:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:fb54c81f-6df7-471b-b417-6c98be22dd6a</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;When we talk about processes, then an active process can be called an instance.
