Such a group is called a *cluster*. We use the http://www.corosync.org[Corosync Cluster Engine] for reliable group -communication, and such clusters can consist of up to 32 physical nodes -(probably more, dependent on network latency). +communication. There's no explicit limit for the number of nodes in a cluster. +In practice, the actual possible node count may be limited by the host and +network performance. Currently (2021) there are reports of clusters (using +high-end enterprise hardware) with over 50 nodes in production. `pvecm` can be used to create a new cluster, join nodes to a cluster, leave the cluster, get status information and do various other cluster
