Delving into active-active regional architectures
Active-active architectures take regional resilience to the next level by distributing traffic and workloads across multiple regions simultaneously. In this approach, each region is actively serving requests and processing data, providing a higher level of fault tolerance and continuous availability compared to active-passive architectures. One of the primary advantages of active-active architectures is their ability to maintain service availability even in the face of regional failures or outages. Since traffic is distributed across multiple regions, if one region experiences an issue, the other regions can continue to serve requests without interruption. This level of resilience is particularly valuable for mission-critical applications or services that require minimal downtime and strict RTOs and RPOs.
Active-active architectures also offer performance benefits by leveraging resources across multiple regions. We’ll see...
