Cyclone Preserve injects the site_id and other important site variables into the "Variables" extension data structure. The variables are then drush vset into the created site by the Builder.
Cyclone allows users to spin up sites on remote hosting providers.
Imagine your users being able to select a site from a list and then provisioning it themselves on the hosting provider of your choice. There is no need for an admin to step in. This is the vision of Cyclone.
