Failover active-passive vs active-active
What is a key difference between active-passive and active-active failover?
Options
- 1Active-passive keeps a standby idle until failover; active-active serves from multiple sites simultaneously and needs conflict handling
- 2Active-active never has any failover at all because both sites are always actively serving live traffic concurrently
- 3Active-passive has a considerably higher hardware cost because the standby must mirror all of the live traffic
- 4Active-active cannot be deployed across multiple regions because all writes must funnel to a single active site
