Setting up the cluster instances
GitHub Enterprise Server clustering requires multiple instances to be set up and configured to run GitHub Enterprise Server services.
About cluster nodes→
Nodes are GitHub Enterprise Server instances that operate in a cluster. Each node runs a set of services that are provided to the cluster, and ultimately to the users.
Cluster network configuration→
GitHub Enterprise Server clustering relies on proper DNS name resolution, load balancing, and communication between nodes to operate properly.
Initializing the cluster→
A GitHub Enterprise Server cluster must be set up with a license and initialized using the administrative shell (SSH).
