Chapter 3. Building blocks active-passive deployments
The following building blocks are needed to set up an active-passive deployment with synchronous replication.
The building blocks link to a blueprint with an example configuration. They are listed in the order in which they need to be installed.
We provide these blueprints to show a minimal functionally complete example with a good baseline performance for regular installations. You would still need to adapt it to your environment and your organization’s standards and security best practices.
3.1. Prerequisites
- Understanding the concepts laid out in the Concepts for active-passive deployments chapter.
3.2. Two sites with low-latency connection
Ensures that synchronous replication is available for both the database and the external Data Grid.
Suggested setup: Two AWS Availablity Zones within the same AWS Region.
Not considered: Two regions on the same or different continents, as it would increase the latency and the likelihood of network failures. Synchronous replication of databases as a services with Aurora Regional Deployments on AWS is only available within the same region.
3.3. Environment for Red Hat build of Keycloak and Data Grid
Ensures that the instances are deployed and restarted as needed.
Suggested setup: Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) deployed in each availability zone.
Not considered: A stretched ROSA cluster which spans multiple availability zones, as this could be a single point of failure if misconfigured.
3.4. Database
A synchronously replicated database across two sites.
Blueprint: Deploy AWS Aurora in multiple availability zones.
3.5. Data Grid
A deployment of Data Grid that leverages the Data Grid’s Cross-DC functionality.
Blueprint: Deploy Data Grid for HA with the Data Grid Operator using the Data Grid Operator, and connect the two sites using Data Grid’s Gossip Router.
Not considered: Direct interconnections between the Kubernetes clusters on the network layer. It might be considered in the future.
3.6. Red Hat build of Keycloak
A clustered deployment of Red Hat build of Keycloak in each site, connected to an external Data Grid.
Blueprint: Deploy Red Hat build of Keycloak for HA with the Red Hat build of Keycloak Operator together with Connect Red Hat build of Keycloak with an external Data Grid and the Aurora database.
3.7. Load balancer
A load balancer which checks the /lb-check URL of the Red Hat build of Keycloak deployment in each site.
Blueprint: Deploy an AWS Route 53 loadbalancer.
Not considered: AWS Global Accelerator as it supports only weighted traffic routing and not active-passive failover. To support active-passive failover, additional logic using, for example, AWS CloudWatch and AWS Lambda would be necessary to simulate the active-passive handling by adjusting the weights when the probes fail.
