Cluster Definition DSL

A lightweight cluster definition DSL is defined in util/cluster. It allows a cluster of VMs to be defined in a single, simple, standard Vagrantfile. See the tomcatCluster documentation for an example of how to define a cluster.

tomcatCluster

tomcatCluster/Vagrantfile creates one VM running Tomcat with CAS installed and two Tomcat servers with the basic manager and host-manager installed.
