In short, not really. Alfresco removed any clustering capabilities from the Community version in 4.2. There are components where you could partially achieve it like Share, since you might be ok with just multiple share and maybe a user session replication based on Tomcat. But Share isn’t the issue usually, so it’s not really a big benefit… For other components, you would need to develop (and maintain) it yourself, if you really want clustering. It might be easier to achieve HA than Clustering by using virtualization technologies.

Cheers,
Morgan

My question is as follows: can schemes 3 to 8 be implemented in the Community Edition, and if so, under which technologies for the load balancer, cache and user session manager?

Hello Greg, it’s true that I could have been a bit more straightforward on that aspect. I mentioned that you will need the Alfresco Clustering license, so that means the Enterprise version. Alfresco includes the capabilities for the Clustering as part of its paid version only. There was 1 or 2 projects that tried to implement something for the Community as well but it was several years ago (Alfresco 5.x I think?). It’s been a long time I haven’t heard anything in this regards, so it was most probably abandoned.

Cheers,
Morgan

It’s the free version or enterprise version ?
