Hi Azeez, I have mention the cartridge type in this thread previously, here i list again for your convenience.
1. Application Cartridge - (e.g wordpress, drupal .etc - which does not required external artifact repo) 2. Data cartridge (e.g. MySQL, Mongo .etc - which does not required external artifact repo) 3. Framework cartridge (e.g. PHP, Ruby, Node.js .etc - which required external artifact repo) 4. LB cartridge (e.g Stratos LB, HAProxy LB - which does not required external artifact repo) Based on these type, Front end and backend functionalities may change. for e.g. whether it required a artifact repo or not ..etc On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 8:14 AM, Afkham Azeez <[email protected]> wrote: > Why is it necessary to classify the LB cartridge as a special cartridge? > What are the other cartridge types available?
