A container that is created by a container on the same host. Child containers are run on the same host as their parent container, but each child runs in a separate JVM.

When created using the console's admin:create-container, a child container inherits the features, feature repositories, and configuration from its parent. When a child container is created using the fabric:container-create command, the fabric:contaier-create-child, command, or Fuse Management Console, it does not inherit any configuration from its parent.

Regardless of how they are created, child containers can be started and shutdown from their parent container's console without using SSH.

A collection of clustered services.

See Also clustered service.

A service that can be discovered via Fuse Fabric and has master/slave support.
