In this session, we will explore several high-availability architectures that Red Hat supports for Red Hat OpenShift in edge environments. We’ll begin with an overview of several proven edge architecture patterns designed to ensure resilience and uptime at the edge.
Next, we’ll take a closer look at the newly introduced two-node with arbiter topology, specifically designed for edge deployments such as retail locations and industrial shop floors where resources are limited. Because these environments have less built-in redundancy, managing failures becomes more complex.
We’ll then examine how Red Hat OpenShift responds to different types of failures, including their impact on both the platform and running workloads. Finally, the session will conclude with a brief demo, followed by a live Q&A.
