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 by using the example lab.
In the example lab, we have built and configured another Connection Server called hzn7-cs1b.pvolab.com, which we will use to represent a second pod, located on a second site.
This server is installed as a Connection Server and not a Replica Server, as it needs to be the first server in a different pod.
The following diagram illustrates the installation we are going to follow, using the example lab:
The first step of the process is to initialize the Cloud Pod from the first Connection Server.
