Create two clusters and configure Instant Connect to replicate data between them
This is Instant Connect’s preferred approach to providing data center level resiliency.
This approach, which is custom to Instant Connect, uses two independent Kubernetes clusters—be they single-node or multi-node—which are installed in different locations. Instant Connect runs on both clusters and replicates data and signaling messages between them to make the system appear as a single, logical entity. Because this solution involves application-layer data replication, network bandwidth and latency requirements are substantially relaxed; the two clusters can function (albeit in a 'split brain' mode) for hours, days or even weeks without permanent impairment.
