Domain:
A domain is the basic administration unit for WebLogic Server. It consists of one or more WebLogic Server instances, and logically related resources and services that are managed, collectively, as one unit.
The basic domain infrastructure consists of one Administration Server and optional Managed Servers and clusters
Administration Server :
A domain always includes one WebLogic Server instance that is configured as an Administration Server. The Administration Server provides a central point for managing the domain and providing access to the WebLogic Server administration tools
Managed Servers:
All other WebLogic Server instances in a domain are called Managed Servers. Managed Servers host application components and resources, which are also deployed and managed as part of the domain.
Clusters:
A domain may also include WebLogic Server clusters, which are groups of server instances that work together to provide scalability and high availability for applications. A cluster appears as a single WebLogic Server instance.
