Chapter 13: Deployment Patterns and Architectures

Deploy search systems across environments with high availability and flexible scaling.

Chapter Overview

Search systems must run reliably across diverse environments, from on-premise data centers to multi-cloud deployments. This chapter covers deployment topologies, provisioning strategies, and the replication patterns that ensure high availability.

Understanding deployment patterns is essential for operating search infrastructure that meets your organization's reliability and compliance requirements.
