A node can host a single application.
A domain group can belong to one domain.
A cluster can be managed by one or more domains. However, it is rarely useful to have a cluster managed by more than one domain. A cluster can also span one or more domain groups.
A node can host one or more JVMs. JVMs can be started and stopped independently of a node.
