Usecases for Standalone Mode
For many use cases, the centralized managment capability available via domain mode is not necessary. For these use cases, the AS can also be run in "standalone mode". In standalone mode each AS instance is an independent process, much like an AS 3, 4, 5, or 6 instance is. Standalone instances can be launched via the standalone.sh or standalone.bat launch scripts. If more than one standalone instance is launched and multi-server management is desired, it is the user's responsibility to coordinate management across the servers.
