Re: [Hypercontent-users] remote publish + loadbalancing

[Alex V. <al...@bi...>]

In response to the prior message, re-read my reply and understand =20
that build and publish are just special cases of filesystem "mounts" =20
in HC 2.0.  They are special to be backwards compatible with 1.x, but =20=

map to mounts at "/build/" and "/publish/" specifically.  You can now =20=

specify any number of mounted filesystems that can be used as read or =20=

write targets for workflow scripts, etc.

You can load balance fine, I suggest creating an NFS share on a SAN =20
and mounting it on all app servers.  You can keep all the =20
repositories there, thats what Columbia and others do.
