Types of Cluster Computing

Types of clusters

There are different types of computer clusters. Let's discuss them and understand their use.

Load balancing

With load balancing clusters, the workload is distributed to multiple nodes so that one node is not overwhelmed. As a result, performance is not decreased even with increased load. For example, if we have a website serving a large user base, we can put it under a load balancer and use multiple nodes to serve the users. When traffic comes, the cluster checks and routes the traffic to one of the available nodes. Different routing algorithms can be used to decide where traffic should go. One of the commonly used algorithms is the Round Robin scheduling algortihm.

With load balancing clusters, we try to achieve scalability, so we can ...
