High Availability and Failover Considerations

The hosts_list parameter allows configuration of multiple server addresses for an orchestrator. Secure Workload server selection logic in the case of multiple server addresses varies for each orchestrator type.

For vCenter, Kubernetes, DNS, F5, Netscaler, Infoblox, the selection is on a first healthy endpoint basis. Connections are not persistent (except for kubernetes) and thus, every poll period, Secure Connector Orchestrator Manager will scan the hosts and poll the first healthy endpoint encountered in the hosts_list. For kubernetes, a persistent event channel is maintained and upon connection failure, a scan of all hosts and subsequent full poll will be performed using the next healthy endpoint.
