Summary
In this chapter, we learned that CP4BA has an adaptable deployment topology that can meet different applications and LOBs requirements. However, the recommended deployment strategy is for each deployment for development to be isolated by namespaces and clusters. This provides a repeatable and consistent deployment architecture that is carried out in higher environments.
Additionally, CP4BA leverages and deploys with HA in mind when it is deployed on Red Hat OpenShift. OpenShift can be made highly available and resilient by leveraging the public cloud and AZs. Lastly, we learned that DR is dictated by our requirements around RPO and RTO. RPO is primarily driven by the technology used for storage and database, whereas RTO is primarily driven by CP4BA support for active-passive only DR.
The next chapter describes a technique that can be used to automate the setup, daily operations, and maintenance of automation solutions.
