In this week’s episode we look at the basics of how clustering Elixir nodes works, and how to automate their creation using libcluster (using UDP Gossip, but also supports Kubernetes, EC2 and DNS service discover) as well as how to replace epmd itself.
An Extra episode will be available tomorrow or the next day as well covering some updates to last week’s episode, some musings on the current limitations of BEAM clustering (security, scalability), and a look at how the show’s git repo is being organized.
I hope you all enjoy!

Great episode @aseigo!

This is a great quick screencast thank you.
Exactly what I needed, hopefully I will find the time soon to add libcluster to my tokumei project generator. Then quickstart can be even smoother.

Great post, thaks for that. Is there any way to clone the code of this example?
Thanks in advance.
