title: Weblogic Admin Server vs Managed Servers
body: <p>What is the difference between a <em>managed server</em> and <em>admin server</em> in Weblogic parlance? What is the responsibility of both in a standard production environment?</p>
  
  <p>P.S: As I understood from the docs the Admin servers' responsibility is to manage the resources in a domain(a logical grouping of a few managed servers and one Admin server) but what I am not clear about are a few examples of what kind of resources it is responsible for managing?</p>
