Rancher Deployment Strategies - Hub & Spoke

In this deployment scenario, there is a single Rancher control plane managing compute resources across the globe. The control plane would be run in an HA configuration, and there would be impact due to latencies.

Pros:

Environments could have nodes and network connectivity across regions.

Single control plane interface to view/see all regions and environments.

Cons:

Subject to network latencies

If control plane goes out global provisioning of new services is unavailable until restored.
