Cluster Management
In Service Fabric as well as in a containerized microservices architecture, there is a notion of a cluster, which consists of a number of nodes. In the context of this chapter, a node relates to a physical or virtual machine instance running Service Fabric.
In Service Fabric, a cluster is defined through the cluster manifest described in an Azure Resource Model (ARM) JSON document. The cluster manifest specifies infrastructure metadata such as number of nodes, node names and types, network topology, cluster security, and so on. One big difference compared to a Docker Swarm or Mesos cluster is that Service Fabric does not require us to set up a separate service for managing cluster availability with tools like Zookeeper or ...
