vRealize Log Insight offers flexible deployment architectures to suit various needs.
* Single node deployment with no load balancer : This is suitable for smaller environments with limited log volume. A single vRealize Log Insight node handles all log management tasks.
* Three node deployment with an external load balancer : This architecture provides high availability and scalability. An external load balancer distributes incoming traffic across the nodes. This offers flexibility in load balancer selection and configuration.
* Clustered deployment with integrated load balancer : This architecture also provides high availability and scalability. In this configuration, a minimum of three vRealize Log Insight nodes are deployed. The integrated load balancer distributes incoming log traffic across the nodes, preventing a single point of failure.
The following architectures are not valid for vRealize Log Insight:
* Ten node deployment with the integrated load balancer: The maximum number of nodes in a cluster is limited, and ten nodes with an integrated load balancer is not a supported configuration.
* Single node deployment with an external load balancer: A single node deployment does not require a load balancer.
* Single node deployment with the integrated load balancer: The integrated load balancer is designed for clustered deployments with a minimum of three nodes.
* Two node deployment with the integrated load balancer: The integrated load balancer requires a minimum of three nodes for cluster functionality.
