This lecture covers the management of distributed actors in a cluster environment, focusing on joining, leaving, and failure detection mechanisms. It explains the importance of cluster consensus, heartbeats for monitoring nodes, and the handling of actors on removed nodes. The application of these concepts to a ClusterWorker scenario is demonstrated, emphasizing the use of lifecycle monitoring and the delivery of Terminated messages for fail-over. The lecture also discusses the clean-up of remote-deployed child actors and the need for consistent decision-making within the cluster.
