What is the cluster deployment scenario?

The cluster deployment scenario includes a number of steps: Deploy an Always on VPN server with Advanced options. A single Remote Access server with advanced settings must be deployed before setting up a cluster deployment.

How do I deploy a VPN server in a load-balanced cluster?

This overview provides an introduction to the configuration steps required to deploy a single Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2012 Remote Access server in a load-balanced cluster.

What is the difference between a cluster and multisite deployment?

A cluster or multisite deployment can be configured and managed as a single entity using the Remote Access Management console running on one of the cluster servers. In addition, a multisite deployment allows administrators to align Remote Access deployment to Active Directory sites, providing a simplified architecture.

Why is it important to deploy multiple remote access servers in a cluster?

Increased availability. Deploying multiple Remote Access servers in a cluster provides scalability and increases the capacity for throughput and number of users. Load balancing the cluster provides high availability. If a server in the cluster fails, remote users can continue to access the internal corporate network via a different server in the cluster. Failover is transparent as clients connect to the cluster using a virtual IP (VIP) address.

What is remote access multisite deployment?

Cost efficiency. A Remote Access multisite deployment allows enterprises to deploy Remote Access servers in multiple sites corresponding to client locations. This provides a predictable access experience for remote clients regardless of location, and reduces costs and intranet bandwidth by routing client traffic over the Internet to the closest Remote Access server.

What is remote access?

Remote access includes a number of enterprise features, including deploying multiple Remote Access servers in a cluster load balanced with Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) or an external load balancer, setting up a multisite deployment with Remote Access servers situated in dispersed geographical locations, and deploying DirectAccess with two-factor client authentication using a one-time password (OTP).

What server is DirectAccess running on?

To deploy DirectAccess using this guide, you must use a DirectAccess server that is running Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012.

What is a RRAS?

1. DirectAccess and Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS) VPN-DirectAccess and VPN are managed together in the Remote Access Management console. 2. RRAS Routing-RRAS routing features are managed in the legacy Routing and Remote Access console. The Remote Access Server Role is dependent on the following server features:

How to configure Kubernetes cluster?

You are expected to have a basic understanding on: 1 How to configure and setup a Kubernetes cluster or minikube 2 How to run a Docker container as a Kubernetes deployment and service 3 What kubectl and kubeadm tools are and how they are used for Kubernetes cluster, pod management and orchestration. 4 You have a working Kubernetes Cluster or Minikube setup already.

Where is Kubectl config stored?

Usually the kubectl config file is stored at: $Home/.kube/config in the master node of your remote Kubernetes cluster. This is the config file used by the kubectl utility installed in your remote cluster’s master node.

How does Kubectl CLI work?

The kubectl CLI utility talk s to the Kubernetes cluster via the cluster’s API server. As long as we could make the cluster’s API server accessible from your laptop, we could access or manage your remote Kubernetes cluster or minikube through a local kubectl instance installed on your laptop.

What commands do you use to get pods in Kubernetes?

Next, you could execute any kubectl commands such as ‘kubectl get pod’ or ‘kubectl get service’ from your laptop and the remote API server should respond back with the status of your pods running in your remote Kubernetes cluster or minikube.

Is Kubernetes public or private?

Usually Kubernetes clusters are not exposed to the public Internet but the apps running in them are.
