Q13. Do You Know Why Do You Need Clustering?
- Clustering is needed for achieving high availability for a server software. The main purpose of clustering is to achieve 100% availability or a zero down time in service.
- Typical server software can be running on one computer machine and it can serve as long as there is no hardware failure or some other failure.
- By creating a cluster of more than one machine, we can reduce the chances of our service going un-available in case one of the machine fails.
- Doing clustering does not always guarantee that service will be 100% available since there can still be a chance that all the machine in a cluster fail at the same time. However it in not very likely in case you have many machines and they are located at different location or supported by their own resources.

Q28. Explain What Is Scalability?
Scalability is the ability of a system, network, or process to handle a growing amount of load by adding more resources. The adding of resource can be done in two ways.
Scaling Up:
This involves adding more resources to the existing nodes. For example, adding more RAM, Storage or processing power.
Scaling Out:
This involves adding more nodes to support more users.
- Any of the approaches can be used for scaling up/out a application, however the cost of adding resources (per user) may change as the volume increases. If we add resources to the system It should increase the ability of application to take more load in a proportional manner of added resources.
- An ideal application should be able to serve high level of load in less resources. However, in practical, linearly scalable system may be the best option achievable.
- Poorly designed applications may have really high cost on scaling up/out since it will require more resources/user as the load increases.
