Management Server

• Uses Apache Directory
  • Used to group nodes (a node is anything that runs on the core platform)
  • Each node's local config simply points to the management server
  • Each node pokes the management server for its config
  • Group-wide commands can be sent out for lifecycle events (start, stop, enable, disable, etc.)

  • Support for rolling deployments via groups
