Description

As the utilization of Kubernetes continues to increase, organizations are discovering the necessity of managing and deploying several clusters in order to support essential capabilities such as geo-redundancy, scalability, and fault isolation for their applications. Submariner enables your applications and services to operate seamlessly across various cloud providers, data centers, and geographical regions. To initiate this process, the Broker must be set up on a singular Kubernetes cluster. It is essential that the API server of this cluster is accessible to all other Kubernetes clusters that are linked through Submariner. This can either be a dedicated cluster or one of the already connected clusters. Once Submariner is installed on a cluster equipped with the appropriate credentials for the Broker, it facilitates the exchange of Cluster and Endpoint objects between clusters through mechanisms such as push, pull, and watching, thereby establishing connections and routes to other clusters. It's crucial that the worker node IP addresses on all connected clusters reside outside of the Pod and Service CIDR ranges. By ensuring these configurations, teams can maximize the benefits of multi-cluster setups.

Description

Failover Clustering in Windows Server (and Azure Local) allows a collection of independent servers to collaborate, enhancing both availability and scalability for clustered roles, which were previously referred to as clustered applications and services. These interconnected nodes utilize a combination of hardware and software solutions, ensuring that if one node encounters a failure, another node seamlessly takes over its responsibilities through an automated failover mechanism. Continuous monitoring of clustered roles ensures that if they cease to function properly, they can be restarted or migrated to uphold uninterrupted service. Additionally, this feature includes support for Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs), which create a cohesive, distributed namespace and enable reliable shared storage access across all nodes, thereby minimizing potential service interruptions. Common applications of Failover Clustering encompass high‑availability file shares, SQL Server instances, and Hyper‑V virtual machines. This functionality is available on Windows Server versions 2016, 2019, 2022, and 2025, as well as within Azure Local environments, making it a versatile choice for organizations looking to enhance their system resilience. By leveraging Failover Clustering, organizations can ensure their critical applications remain available even in the event of hardware failures.
