Advantage of option 3 is that we can achieve the desired state (enabled/disabled) in one step process. Say you are starting stratos, you can set it to enable/disable and start it.
Whereas in option 1, If we supporting it at API level, we should start the stratos and then call the API to achieve the desired state. Because default value is true. Still option 1 is having the advantage, that is no need to restart stratos. We should support either option 1 or 3. Or both (we can resolve conflicts by giving more priority to API)? Thanks.
