WSO2 integrator 6.1.0 clustering vs multiple node with load balancer

Question

In reference to Integration Profile what are the difference between:

1. configuring as a cluster 2 manager nodes(using hazelcast) with a load balancer in front (according to the documentation)
2. configuring 2 non-clustered manager nodes with a lb in front (without intercomunication) and with shared registry

if the artifacts are deployed manually on every node?

Answer 1

If you define schedule tasks, they will be exectuded on the 2 nodes. If you define JMS or VFS consumers, this is the same (there will be 2 consumers on the jms queue, ...). You can configure a JMS inbound endpoint to be executed only on one node in a cluster, but you have no way to do te same thing with two standalone WSO2 instances

However, you will not see any difference with http proxy services or API.
