Question

An engineer is designing a disaster recovery solution. In the event of a node failure, the solution should either direct all of the traffic to another node, or load-balance the traffic across the remaining nodes. Which solution should be implemented in the design?

Why each option

An active/active solution allows multiple nodes to process traffic concurrently and either load-balance or direct all traffic to remaining nodes upon a failure, providing high availability.

Aactive/activeCorrect

An active/active solution involves all nodes actively processing traffic simultaneously. In the event of a node failure, the remaining active nodes can either take over the failed node's workload and continue load balancing, or all traffic can be directed to a single remaining active node, fulfilling the requirements for high availability and resilient traffic handling.

Bcold standby

Cold standby solutions involve backup nodes that are powered off and require significant time and manual intervention to become operational, which does not meet the immediate traffic redirection or load balancing requirement.

Cactive/passive

Active/passive (or active/standby) solutions typically involve one node actively processing traffic while the other remains idle, only taking over upon failure, which does not inherently involve load balancing across remaining nodes.

Dwarm standby

Warm standby solutions have backup nodes running but not actively processing traffic and may require some time or synchronization to become fully operational, which doesn't fully align with immediate traffic redirection or load balancing.
