Question 1
AdvancedInstall and Configure Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) · Install and configure a replica IdM server
You are the lead architect designing a Red Hat Identity Management (IdM) topology for a multinational corporation with data centers in New York, London, and Tokyo. The network team has established high-latency, limited-bandwidth links between these regions. You need to configure the replication topology to ensure data consistency while minimizing cross-region traffic.
Which topology configuration strategy provides the optimal balance of redundancy and network efficiency?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
In a multi-site environment with WAN constraints, a full mesh is inefficient due to excessive traffic. A linear chain introduces single points of failure. The optimal approach is to create highly connected clusters (hub-and-spoke or partial mesh) within each high-bandwidth region and then link these regions using specific replication agreements (segments) between designated bridge servers. This minimizes cross-WAN traffic while maintaining redundancy.
