Purpose: Runtime environment for executing process automations. Relevant Personas: CoE Admin, Operations Engineer, Developer
Summary
A Cluster is a runtime environment that hosts the engine and components needed to execute process automations. Clusters are provisioned at the Organization level and can then be assigned to specific Workspaces — a pattern called dual visibility.
This means the Center of Excellence (CoE) manages all infrastructure centrally, while Delivery Teams only see the clusters allocated to their workspace. A cluster can be accessed from both the organization and workspace contexts, and the navigation preserves which entry point the user came from.
Components
Each cluster runs Zeebe as its core workflow engine, along with three operational components:
- Operate — process monitoring, incident management, and operational dashboards
- Tasklist — user task management and assignment
- Admin — cluster administration and access control
Each component has its own internal navigation when entered.
