Clusters

Incorta clusters are virtual containers of Incorta services which are installed in one or many nodes in one or many machines. The CMC can be used to create clusters and services within those clusters. Clusters can manage multiple services. The CMC can also be used to create tenants within a cluster. Clusters can contain multiple tenants. The workload for all the tenants within a cluster is distributed across the cluster.
