If you use clustering, a cluster is formed by 2 or more RabbitMQ nodes.
Federation and shovel plugins connect 2 or more RabbitMQ nodes or clusters.

Messages are published to and consumed from RabbitMQ nodes. If your publisher
and consumer are connected to the same node, you get the best inter-cluster
data locality but otherwise, you can publish to and consume from any node
and RabbitMQ will pass messages to the “right” node under the hood.
