Cluster layout

Learn about Flow Management cluster layout recommendations to optimize your flow management cluster in production environments.

At least three nodes are recommended for a Flow Management cluster used in production environments. NiFi must be running on dedicated nodes.

When NiFi is clustered, you should use an external ZooKeeper cluster. In production deployments, the ZooKeeper instances should not be co-located with the NiFi instances.
