8.4. Configuring Redundancy

Redundancy typically provides high-availability and scaling. Because developers only interact with an OpenShift Enterprise broker host sporadically, scaling is less of a concern because a typical installation is not large enough to generate traffic to overwhelm even a single broker host. Therefore, this section concentrates on high-availability of your broker host through redundancy. Several options are available to configure redundancy with your OpenShift Enterprise installation.

As mentioned in Section 8.3, “Separating Broker Components by Host”, the major components of OpenShift Enterprise can be installed and configured on separate hosts and multiplied for redundancy. Alternatively, here are some redundant topologies to consider:

Each host can then be made redundant to suit your requirements. Choose a configuration that best suits your particular installation.
