I've noted the following: 1 - There's a clustering-standalone.xml configuration file in standalone/configuration that you can start the server with using ./standalone.sh -server-config=clustering-standalone.xml

2 - This configuration differs from the standard config in that: - the org.jboss.as.clustering extension is enabled - some additional items are configured in the urn:jboss:domain:osgi:1.0 subsystem - 2 new subsystems configured (jgroups and infinispan) - 6 new socket bindings added to the standard-sockets group for jgroups So exactly what feature set does this give you out of the box for clustering?

I'm guessing session replication between standalone instances with JGroups for intra-node communication and Infinispan for storage? Anything else? Other questions: How does each instance determine which other instances it should be clustered with? Does this work with multiple instances on one machine (multi-homed or on different ports)? Can multiple standalone instances using "cluster" configuration live on the same network but not all be one cluster? Like 10 instances as 2 clusters of 5 for example? Aside from centralized management, what are the other key features from domain mode that you won't get from standalone clustering ? Are there any known changes that are going to be made to this feature set for GA ?

Correct. Right now the only thing you can do is use infinispan and jgroups directly.
