Description

I think it would be interesting to have a way to be able to instanciate multiple instances of a single pack using different configuration.

Right now, if for example you have multiple JIRA or OpsGenie accounts, you cannot on a single StackStorm setup be able to connect to multiples ones.

Basically, we just need to able to be able to call actions, create triggers and set sensors specifying which configuration file for use for this instance.

That could for example be an instance=abc parameter to be given that will load mypack.abc.conf if given, or the default mypack.conf when no specific parameter if given.

This is kind of related to https://github.com/StackStorm/st2/issues/3438

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reading issue #3438 and tracing how StackStorm currently loads pack configuration for actions, triggers, and sensors; done requires an agreed design and implementation that supports multiple independently configured pack instances.
