Which GitHub Enterprise Server feature allows you to create a geographically distributed cluster to serve users across multiple data centers?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation and Infographic
Clustering in GHES is like having multiple full copies of your setup spread across the globe — each node handles its share of the load. HA is just a cold standby; clustering is true distributed operation.

Full Explanation
GitHub Enterprise Server Clustering allows organizations to deploy GHES across multiple nodes in a cluster configuration to achieve horizontal scalability and geographic distribution. Unlike HA (which is a passive standby), clustering enables active load distribution across nodes with services like web, storage, and database distributed across the cluster. This is appropriate for very large installations (typically 10,000+ users) or organizations needing geographic redundancy with active-active service delivery. HA replica is a passive failover solution, not active distribution. GitHub Connect is a feature for linking GHES to GitHub.com, not a clustering technology.
