Exploring Elixir E7: Automatic Clustering

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! :slight_smile:
