Explanation
Resiliency and Availability
Resiliency and availability refers to the ability of a system to continue operating, despite the failure or sub-optimal performance of some of its components In the case of Oracle Functions:
The control plane is a set of components that manages function definitions.
The data plane is a set of components that executes functions in response to invocation requests.
For resiliency and high availability, both the control plane and data plane components are distributed across different availability domains and fault domains in a region. If one of the domains ceases to be available, the components in the remaining domains take over to ensure that function definition management and execution are not disrupted.
When functions are invoked, they run in the subnets specified for the application to which the functions belong. For resiliency and high availability, best practice is to specify a regional subnet for an application (or alternatively, multiple AD-specific subnets in different availability domains). If an availability domain specified for an application ceases to be available, Oracle Functions runs functions in an alternative availability domain.
