Guidelines and Known Limitations of Manual Failover

Synchronicity of JPDs: This setup will not affect the synchronization between your JPDs. To facilitate seamless failover, both JPDs must be kept synchronized and up-to-date by you, achievable through your use of Federated Repositories and Access Federation within the limitations described in the documentation, such as - Federated repository does not support sync of JFrog Xray data and the solution is only for Artifactory data.Federated Repositories

You must setup all security configurations, georestrictions, allowlist, and private endpoints for each JPD.

You need to switch private endpoints manually to the secondary region during a failover event unless your provider supports multi-region setups. For example, Azure supports multi-region setups. If different providers are used, private endpoints will not work during a failover.

Prior to performing a manual failover, all validations regarding state of synchronization and set up must be done by the user.

Automatic failover, same region failover, self-hosted JPDs, and Docker subdomains are not supported.

This is not a DR or Active-Active load balancing solution.
