Methods and systems for securely and efficiently clustering distributed processes using a consistent database
Certain embodiments described relate to methods and systems for adding one or more nodes to a first cluster including a first node in a computer system. A method performed by the first node comprises retrieving a first cluster configuration associated with the first cluster from a distributed database through a first database server (DBS) and creating a second cluster configuration using the first cluster configuration and information received from a second node as part of a request to join the first cluster. The method further comprises populating a first one or more local trust stores of a first one or more processes executing on the first node with a second one or more security certificates of a second one or more processes executing on the second node. The method further comprises writing the second cluster configuration to the distributed database and returning the second cluster configuration to the second node.
