Advanced Usage Example

var cluster = require('coreos-cluster');

cluster.createCluster({
  numNodes: 10,
  type: 'performance',
  release: 'beta',
  keyname: 'my-ssh-keyname',
  discoveryServiceUrl: 'https://discovery.etcd.io/some-guid-here',

Installation

npm install coreos-cluster

Next Steps

As coreos-cluster is built on pkgcloud, the next step is to add a provider option that allows you to use different compute providers within pkgcloud.
