15.3. Creating a Cluster of SwitchYard Instances

To create a cluster of SwitchYard instances, start two or more instances with a shared Infinispan cache.

# start instance 1
node1> bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.node.name=node1
# start instance 2
node> bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.node.name=node2 -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000

When the instances are up, you can deploy applications independently to each instance. A homogeneous cluster (a cluster of identical machines) consists of identical applications deployed on each node. However, a heterogeneous cluster consists of different applications and services deployed on each instance. To verify the cluster setup, deploy a consumer application to one instance and a provider application to another.
