I am confused at this sentence found on the RabbitMQ site, Google wasn't much help: https://www.rabbitmq.com/
"RabbitMQ can be deployed in distributed and federated configurations to meet high-scale, high-availability requirements."
What does it mean when a service can be deployed in a distributed and federated configuration? What is a distributed configuration? What is a federated configuration?
Thanks,
---- UPDATE ----
Upon looking at the tags, I saw "Federated processing is a delegation of method invocation calls to a trusted third party APIs or web services." Related?
