A library of different kits that can be applied to different
hardware architectures and added to operating system-specific repositories.
In IBM® Spectrum Cluster Foundation Community
Edition,
you can have several kits in a library. These kits or parts of a kit
can be deployed on a node.
Each kit is a group of related components.
A kit is a mechanism for packaging applications and installation
scripts together to make it easier to manage and deploy your cluster.
In Figure 1 below, each kit is
made up of kit components which represent different parts
of the application, such as: client component, server component, or
development library component. Within each kit component, a user can
define what packages get installed and what scripts to run to configure
the component.Figure 1. Kit Components
