    Hi,

    I found this interesting picture:

    Can someone explain how this load balancer work ? Can it route based on the capacity/workload of the CPCs ? Or is it rather round-robin ? As far as I know WLM is transparent to the containers running inside zCX ?

    - Additionally, is this mutually exclusive with sysplex distributor or can both co-exist ? 

    My preference is a HA set-up Active - Active with a 50% distribution over 2 CPCs (1 CPC with 1 zCX, the other with 2 zCX).

    Or to rebalance if the incoming load is not well balanced.

    - Is this swarmkit or classic swarm ? I read that classic swarm is stabilized.
