Cluster and Cache Configuration

This topic provides links to documentation about VMware Tanzu GemFire cluster and cache configuration. To work with your VMware Tanzu GemFire applications, you use a combination of configuration files and application code.

• Cluster Members

  Cluster members are programs that connect to a Tanzu GemFire cluster. You configure members to belong to a single cluster, and you can optionally configure them to be clients or servers to members in other clusters, and to communicate with other clusters.

• Setting Properties

  Tanzu GemFire provides a default cluster configuration for out-of-the-box systems. To use non-default configurations and to fine-tune your member communication, you can use a mix of various options to customize your cluster configuration.

• Options for Configuring the Cache and Data Regions

  To populate your VMware Tanzu GemFire cache and fine-tune its storage and distribution behavior, you need to define cached data regions and provide custom configuration for the cache and regions.

• Local and Remote Membership and Caching

  For many VMware Tanzu GemFire discussions, you need to understand the difference between local and remote membership and caching.
