Thank you for sparing your time with my blog.
Under what conditions would you need this? Since it uses the same binaries, configuration, RPD and webcatalog, I don't see how this is useful.
ReplyDeleteI understood your point, When a web app allows a cloning feature it can be considered as a feature for horizontal scaling. Basically horizontal scaling is done to increase the availability.
