JBoss Fuse - Child Container

A Child Container provides the easiest way to manage the increasing load. When the system is experiencing sudden load in traffic and a single container is not able to cope up with the load, we can easily create a set of child containers and distribute the load among them, rather than creating a complete new container.

Creating a Child Container

Login to FMC using localhost:8181

Now, follow the path: Runtime → container → +Create (button on right hand side)

Enter details like child name, parent container Number of instances etc.

Click Create And Start Container

Managing a Child Container

A Child container acts as a normal container only.

Stopping a Child Container

To stop a child container, follow the path: Runtime → Container → Child1

Click Stop to stop the Child Container.

Starting a Child Container

To start a child container, follow the path: Runtime → Container → Child1

Click Start to start the child container.
