## Architecture
### Active/Passive
For pure high-availability/failover with no scaling you can use an
active/passive configuration. This utilizes DRBD (Distributed Replicated
Block Device) to keep all data in sync. DRBD requires a low latency link to
remain in sync. It is not advisable to attempt to run DRBD between data centers
or in different cloud availability zones.
There are two kinds of setups:
