Multiregion clusters
With PaaS, you can have a multiregion setup which improves Magnolia availability to 99.9%
and is essential for a successful (and automated) disaster recovery process. We accomplish this by configuring a multiregion setup for your project. We do this with an active/passive scenario approach.
This active/passive scenario approach includes an additional satellite cluster which is in a different availability zone and/or region. Primary traffic is routed through the active cluster while the secondary (passive) cluster is ready in standby mode meaning if the primary cluster regions goes down, traffic is automatically routed to the healthy secondary cluster.
The CDN operator decides how to route the traffic best based on geolocation.
Example
User A is based in Germany and is routed through the Frankfurt cluster (primary) and is only routed through the secondary cluster (US-East) if the primary cluster is down.
Setup
If you have opted for this feature, we set up everything in the backend for your multiregion cluster approach. This can be for one additional remote satellite (passive) cluster or more. That’s up to you. However, we do need you to modify the values.yml
file for your specific environments to accommodate the multiregion feature.
See how to configure the values.yml
file for multiregion usage here.
