     9  # Bootstrapping a Nomad Cluster
    10  
    11  Nomad models infrastructure into regions and datacenters. Servers reside at the
    12  regional layer and manage all state and scheduling decisions for that region.
    13  Regions contain multiple datacenters, and clients are registered to a single
    14  datacenter (and thus a region that contains that datacenter). For more details on
    15  the architecture of Nomad and how it models infrastructure see the [architecture
    16  page](/docs/internals/architecture.html).
    17  
    18  There are two strategies for bootstrapping a Nomad cluster:
    19  
    20  1. <a href="/guides/cluster/automatic.html">Automatic bootstrapping</a>
    21  1. <a href="/guides/cluster/manual.html">Manual bootstrapping</a>
    22  
    23  Please refer to the specific documentation links above or in the sidebar for
    24  more detailed information about each strategy.
