Hello @dhikra-marghli8 

"Cluster," this term is generic and can be applied to various configurations, including both active-passive and active-active setups. By definition, a cluster is a group of interconnected nodes or systems working together to provide enhanced performance, availability, and fault tolerance.

( active-passive , active-active ) .

you need to provide more information what kind of Cluster we considering here ?

Is this SWITCH (since you tagged Switch - so guessing switch cluster). or is this Firewall ?

New Cat 9K deployed as SVL ( Stack wise virtual) - more information can be find below :

Old Catalyst same as VSS

In Nexus environment it is vPC

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/218333-understand-and-configure-nexus-9000-vpc.html

Any of SVL and vPC - Only 2 device can be in the domain, you can join multiple domain in to the other domains depends on the requirement and product you using.

overcome this limitation - new technology come in to play VXLAN and EVPN so on.

cluster different than High availability
cluster is Active-Active 
both Node can forward data and you can connect Port-Channel for that 
High Availbilty is Active-Passive,  i.e. only one unit can forward the traffic and if it failed then second one can forward traffic, not both in same time.
