HA Preparation

Architecture

2-Node Cluster Deployment

N-Node Cluster Deployment

HySecure High Availability Deployment

Pre-Requisite

An Azure account with an active subscription. Create one for free.
Azure Portal Access
Azure Resource Group
Azure Virtual Network for HySecure
Azure Network Security Group for HySecure
Azure Storage Account
Internal TCP Load Balancer
External Public Load Balancer

Create an Internal Load Balancer

Go to Azure Portal >> Load balancer >> Create

Step 1: Select Create Load Balancer.

Step 2: Add Basic details as Name, Region, Type, SKU, Virtual Network & Availability Zone and then Select Next: Tags.

Step 3: Add Tags and select Next: Review + Create.

Step 4: Once the validation is passed then click on Create.

Step 5: Review Created Internal Load Balancer

Step 6: Overview of Internal Load Balancer.

Step 7: Review Frontend Internal IP address.

Tip

This Frontend IP will be used as Virtual IP Address for High Avavilabilty Deployment.

Step 8: Create Backend Pool for High Avalability Deployment

Step 9: Add Name and Save Backend Pool.

Tip

HySecure Gateway Active Node will be using this Backend Pool while Deploying the Active Node.

Add Standby Node to Backend Pool Node

As Backend Node Only Active and Passive Nodes will be added to Internal Load Balancer.

Tip

Active and Passive Nodes for High Avaliability will be added as Backend Pool (Backend-Accops-Gateway-Active-Passive-Node) in Internal Load Balancer once Active Cluster is ready.

Active cluster configuration steps are mentioned in next article HySecure HA Configuration

Steps to Add Standby Node to Private Load Balancer

Step 10: Review BackEnd Pool.

Step 11: Create Health Probes.

Tip

To Preboot HySecure Active Node

Step 12.a: Create a TCP HealthProbe as Health-Probe-TCP-443

Step 12.b: Create a HTTPS HealthProbe as Health-Probe-Statuscheck

Step 12.c: Review Health Probe

Step 13.a: Create Load Balancing Rules for HySecure Gateway.

Step 13.b: Add Load Balancing Rule for Database.

Step 13.c: Add Load Balancing Rule for Infoagent.

Step 13.d: Add Load Balancing Rule for HA-Page

Step 13.e: Add Load Balancing Rule for HTTPS-LB.

Step 13.f: Review Load Balancing Rules.

Step 14: Inbound NAT Rules can be created as per the Requirement for Active, Standby & Real Nodes. By Default It is not Required if HySecure Nodes SSH Access is available directly using their respectve Private IP Addresses.

Create a Public Load Balancer

Go to Azure Portal >> Load balancer >> Create

Step 1: Select Create Load Balancer, Add Basic Details, Name, Region, Type, SKU, Public IP Address, Public IP Address SKU, Avalability Zone, Routing Preference & Select Next to Add Tags.

Step 2: Add Tags and Select Next to Review.

Step 3: Once validation is passed then click on Create.

Step 4: Review Public Load Balancer.

Step 5: Overview of Public TCP Load balancer.

Step 6: Public Load Balancer Frontend IP Configuration.

Step 7: Add Public Load Balancer Backend Pools.

Step 8: Create Backend Pool Node.

Step 9: Review Backend Accops Gateway Web Node

Step 10: Add Public Load Balancer Health Probes.

Step 11: Add a Health Pprobes as Health-Probe-HA-Page.

Step 12: Review Health Probe.

Step 13: Add a Load Balancing Rule.

Step 14: Add Public Web Frontend Rule

Step 15: Review Load Balancing Rule

Step 16: Inbound NAT Rules can be created as per the Requirement for Active, Standby & Real Nodes. By Default It is not Required if HySecure Nodes SSH Access is available directly using their respectve Private IP Addresses.

Step 17: Add Outbound NAT Rules for Internet Access in Backend Pools Node.

Tip

To Access Accops Gateway from Internet below Load Balancing Services can be used.

1: Public Load Balancer

2: Public Application Gateway

3: Front Door (Work In Progress)

4: Traffic Manager (Work In Progress)

In this Article we will be usng Public Load Balancer.

Add Web Nodes to Backend Pool Node

All Web Nodes Active, Passive & Real Nodes will be added to Public Load Balancer.

Tip

All Web Nodes for High Avaliability will be added as Backend Pool (Backend-Accops-Gateway-Web-Node) in Public Load Balancer once Active Cluster is ready.

Active cluster configuration steps are mentioned in next article HySecure HA Configuration
