Key Takeaways Multi-cloud involves using services from multiple cloud providers to gain flexibility and reduce vendor lock-in, while hybrid cloud combines private and public cloud resources to balance control and scalability. In this scenario, two notable models – multi-cloud and hybrid cloud have emerged. But what do these entail?

Some of the most important elements include: No single point of failure (SPOF): You must eliminate any SPOF in the database environment, including any potential for an SPOF in physical or virtual hardware. Load balancing: Traffic is distributed across multiple servers to prevent any one component from becoming overloaded.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.

Scalability is a significant concern, as databases must handle growing data volumes and user demands while maintaining peak performance. Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow.

Complementing the hardware is the software on the RAE and in the cloud, and bridging the software on both ends is a bi-directional control plane. The challenge, then, is to be able to ingest and process these events in a scalable manner, i.e., scaling with the number of devices, which will be the focus of this blog post.
