Advantages of having multiple Heimdall replicas when installing PSA in Docker

[Roberto.Barnes]

Hi,

I see there is an option in the PSA deployment script to configure more than 1  Heimdall replicas. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using more than 1 Heimdall replica? We have my scripts running on our PSAs, and I am trying to figure out if this would help with performance.

Thanks

Roberto

Hi @Roberto.Barnes,

Thanks for asking your question on the community. It seems no one was able to offer any info. I think it would be helpful to reach out to your AppD Rep for more information on this or reach out to AppD Call a Consultant.

Hi Roberto,

Increasing the replica count would help in executing multiple synthetics jobs at the same time. Basically simultaneous execution of Synthetic jobs there by, you can run more jobs at the same time or more jobs from the same machine.
