4.4.3 Alternative Network Architectures
An alternative architecture is to set up the data center to be active/standby in terms of networking capabilities. This means all traffic will egress from one data center only (where the edge services are placed), which could lead to excessive hairpinning of the WAN network. If the WAN is reliable enough, bandwidth is sufficient, and latency is low enough, this might be a better option which reduces complexity.
