Manage cluster nodes¶

Important

Clustering is supported only for charmed Anbox Cloud deployments. The Anbox Cloud Appliance does not support clustering.

These guides describe how to distribute the load of your Anbox Cloud installation over several machines in a cluster.

  • Configure cluster nodes

  • Scale up a LXD cluster

  • Scale down a LXD cluster
