-| Profile | Contents |
-|---|---|
-| `small` | 3 ESXi hosts, 2 datastores, 2 networks, one datacenter/cluster/resource-pool, and five named VMs: `web-01`, `web-02`, `db-01`, `app-01`, `jumpbox` (mixed power states). Used by unit/integration tests. |
-| `large` (default) | Configurable hosts/VMs (`SEED_VSPHERE_LARGE_HOSTS` default 10, `SEED_VSPHERE_LARGE_VMS` default 1000), 4 datastores, 4 networks/portgroups, a `VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch`, production/staging/templates VM folders. The first five VMs match the `small` names for cookbook stability; the rest are generated (`web-`, `app-`, `db-`, `cache-`, `batch-`, `jump-`, `ci-`, `mon-`, `log-`, `ml-` role prefixes). |
-| `demo-cluster` | `large` with 20 hosts / 1000 VMs — an enterprise-shaped dataset for UI demos. |

-Every profile builds the same skeleton (`Datacenters` folder → `Datacenter` →
-host/vm/datastore/network sub-folders → one `ClusterComputeResource` +
-`ResourcePool`), then scales hosts, datastores, portgroups, and VMs. VM MOIDs
-are `vm-{100+n}`; host MOIDs are `host-{10+n}`; each VM carries the same

+## Web UI
 
-The interactive console can load the demo dataset and reseed on demand:
+The **DATA** panel exposes three load buttons matching these tiers. Each call
+is `POST /ui/api/vsphere/seed?profile=small|large|big` (atomic reseed).
 
-- `POST /ui/api/demo/load` — loads `demo-cluster`
-- `POST /ui/api/demo/unload` — wipes API-created state, then loads `small`
-- `GET /ui/api/demo/state`
-- `POST /ui/api/vsphere/seed?profile=small|large|demo-cluster` — reseed any profile

-## Reseed vs client state
-
-Terraform, Pulumi, and Ansible may still hold resource state after a reseed
-(VM MOIDs and names can change). Refresh or destroy/recreate external state
-after replacing the PostgreSQL inventory. See [Operations](operations.md) and
-[Clients](clients.md).
