RedHat addresses the complexity of managing multiple clusters with Hosted Control Planes (HCP), based on the Hypershift project. HCP, available on VMs, cloud, or as an appliance—reduces the operational burden of control plane infrastructure management. This session delves into deploying a resilient HCP in an appliance form factor, preventing complete solution downtime due to component failures. Key considerations include addressing physical node, network, storage, and complete appliance failures. Resiliency is achieved by replicating HCP and its control plane across multiple nodes, employing high-speed disk replication for critical components like etcd, and implementing backup strategies. Disaster recovery capabilities of the underlying appliance, such as metro and regional DR, are harnessed to minimize control plane downtime. Attendees will gain insights into configuring a highly resilient HCP deployment, utilizing Backup & Restore and DR technologies for nearly zero downtime.
