Understand the default cluster configuration

The Bitnami Multi-Tier Solution for Cassandra uses multiple VMs in a ring topology.

It has a masterless architecture which means that any node can accept any request (read, write, or delete) and route it to the correct node even if the data is not stored in that node.

The cluster uses GoogleCloudSnitch as a snitch, which tells Cassandra how its network looks like.

The Cassandra server is configured to listen for connections from any IP address (0.0.0.0).
