Configuring high availability for a self-hosted IR
A self-hosted IR is a critical component for transferring data from on-premises data sources or data sources in virtual networks to Azure. Configuring additional nodes for a self-hosted IR ensures there is no single point of failure and provides high availability. Having additional nodes makes the self-hosted IR function as usual even when one of the nodes is under maintenance. Configuring additional nodes also allows load sharing with multiple data transfer jobs being executed in parallel on different nodes.
