Symmetric clustering

In symmetric clustering, all nodes are active and all participators handle the process of requests. This setup might be cost-effective by serving active applications and users.

A failed node can be discarded from the cluster, while others take over its workload and continue to handle transactions.

Symmetric clustering can be thought of as being similar to a load-balancing cluster situation, where all nodes share the workload by increasing the performance
and scalability of services running in the cloud infrastructure.
