Configuring the Cloud Pod Architecture

In Chapter 3, Design and Deployment Considerations, we discussed the Cloud Pod Architecture and its ability to deliver multi-site View deployments to allow for scalability and also disaster recovery scenarios. We are now going to look at how to set up a cloud pod using the example lab.

In the example lab, we have built and configured another Connection Server, called HZN7-CS1B, which we will use to represent a second pod, located at a second site.

The first step of the process it to initialize the Cloud Pod from the first Connection Server.

Initializing the Cloud Pod

From the View Administrator console, in the Inventory pane on the left, expand the View Configuration section and click Cloud Pod Architecture (1). Then click the...
