JBoss Fuse ESB Cluster setup

[dpravin74]

Hello Experts,

I am new to JBoss Fuse ESB and exploring the best practices in setting up a cluster of ESB. I also could not understand the usage of Profile and container. When and why do you create a profile and associate it to container. In production scenario how do you onboard applications to the platform, how do you manage profile and container etc. I went through the documentation on JBoss site, however could not get answers to my questions.

Appreciate if some could clarify this.

Thanks,

Pravin

Hi Pravin,

A profile is a named list of artifacts and configuration. A container is a JVM that you can install artifacts on by assigning a profile to it. Lets say you have a profile that lists all the bundles needed to run your applications backend. Now you can start 3 containers and assign the backend profile to all three containers to have them all run seperate instances of the same backend.

Hope that makes it a little more clear.

Geert.
