HA on Control Panel

Raffapol

As my previous post... maybe it's me, I haven't found anything about HA on the control panel: does Enhance offer a HA solution for the panel, or should we install it twice and then balance it with a LB ahead? (This question is also valid for mail server)
Thank you
Raff

i don't see anything HA Related, just to migrate control panel server in the future.

Note the difference between HA and server replication. The new feature coming is so that we have a backup server that can be assigned the control panel role. It's not actually HA, and I'm pretty sure Enhance dev already stated they don't have plans for HA anytime soon.

HA would be a great option though 😃

Control panel replication will enable you to "fail over" to the secondary control panel server, either deliberately (to move its location) or in a situation where your primary control panel server is totally lost. The failover isn't automated because the system has no way to know if any failure of the control panel server is a temporary outage, network issue, etc. You need to run a CLI command to promote the secondary control panel server to master.

Yes Adam, that’s a right balance between complexity and efficiency. I believe that this is the way to go, waiting for January so - thank you!
