We have come across that VA should be as close as the source in the “Getting Start With Virtual Appliances” documentation. However, are there any specific metrics like round-trip time that customers are advised to follow?
- Locate VAs Close to Sources - To ensure a reliable connection between a VA and the source system, locate them as follows:
- Local - Install clusters near the connected source system.
- AWS/Azure/GCP - Place clusters in the Availability Zone as close as possible to the target sources. If your organization has a VPN connection to its AWS or Azure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the VAs should be hosted in the same region that’s hosting the network gateways for your organization.
