- m_mueller 11y agoWell, when I think of a cluster I think of load balancing and failover - for which you can use a reverse proxy such as Hipache. So I don't quite understand how this is not related. The way I understand Swarm, it could be just a higher level abstraction built on top of that?
- cpuguy83 11y agoLoad balancing and failover are generally a requirement in clustered environments, but are really different jobs. LB's "schedule" connection requests, cluster schedulers schedule the things that those connections are going to (and probably the LB), makes sure they are up and running, etc.
