IBM Streams 4.2.1

Adding resources to an IBM Streams enterprise domain

After you install IBM® Streams on at least one resource, you can add more resources to the domain. You can obtain resources from the default IBM Streams resource manager or an external resource manager, such as IBM Platform Symphony® or Apache Hadoop YARN. IBM Streams also supports user-defined external resource managers.

IBM Streams resources are always hosts. The externally managed resources might be other types of physical and logical entities, such as containers and process groups.

Both IBM Streams resources and externally managed resources can be used together in a domain.
