http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2015/08/17/10635825.aspx

Failover Clusters can now therefore be created in the following configurations:

• Single-domain Clusters: Clusters with all nodes joined to the same domain
• Multi-domain Clusters: Clusters with nodes which are members of different domains
• Workgroup Clusters: Clusters with nodes which are member servers / workgroup (not domain joined)
