Active Passive

Active/Passive with failover

• A main, active JFrog Platform deployment (jfrog-a.my.org) used by an organization with a passive JFrog Platform deployment (usually in a different data center) ready for failover (jfrog-b.my.org)
• A global DNS CNAME is defined (jfrog.my.org) with routing to (jfrog-a.my.org). In case of a failover is needed, the main DNS will be updated to point to the failover site (jfrog-b.my.org)
• All of the organization is using a single URL to access the JFrog Platform (jfrog.my.org)
• Using Access and repository federation to keep data and Access entities in sync
• This a common architecture used for DR (Disaster Recovery) readiness where the passive site acts as the backup platform
  • See more details in the Disaster Recovery section
• See Limitations

Architecture

The following is a schematic high level architecture of such a deployment.
