Supported Configurations for Anypoint Platform PCE

To ensure platform performance, stability, and high availability, Anypoint Platform Private Cloud Edition (Anypoint Platform PCE) supports two network configurations: 4-node and 7-node. To ensure high availability and performance, each node must run on its own server in both configurations. If you are using a virtual machine to host the nodes, you must ensure that each VM node is running on a separate physical server.

Both the 4-node and 7-node configurations have two separate components:

  • Anypoint Platform Core

  • Monitoring Center Add-On (optional)

4-Node Configuration

The 4-node configuration is the smallest configuration that Anypoint Platform PCE supports. This is the minimum number of nodes that can enable high-availability and failover. In this configuration, each node hosts the platform applications and services. You must configure a load balancer to use round-robin distribution of traffic among each of the four nodes.

4-node Configuration

Three of the nodes host an instance of the database and object store. Hosting the database and object store enables persistence but requires larger minimum disk and memory requirements. Although three of the nodes contain a database, only one database is used as the primary. Applications on each node write to this database only. The other two database instances are hot standby instances of the primary database that take over as the primary database in case of failure.

7-Node Configuration

In the 7-node configuration, four nodes are dedicated to hosting platform applications and services. The other three nodes host the database and object store instances. Although each node contains a database, only one of the database nodes is used as the primary. Applications on each node write to this database only. The other two database instances are hot standby instances of the primary database that take over as the primary database in case of failure.

7-node Configuration

You must configure a load balancer to use round-robin distribution of traffic among all of the nodes in your cluster.

Supported Platform Components and Configuration

The following recommendations and limits are based on the following resources:

  • A 4-node environment consisting of 4 nodes of 8 cores and 32GB RAM, or

  • A 7-node environment consisting of 7 nodes of 8 cores and 32GB RAM.
