High Availability
|
Applies a high availability configuration. These configurations automatically synchronize Thunder configurations between the active and standby Thunder instances. In the event of a failover, it designates the other Thunder instance as active to ensure uninterrupted traffic routing. For this functionality, it is essential for both Thunder instances to have identical resources and configurations.
