Cisco 300-620 Exam - Topic 5 Question 108 Discussion

Actual exam question for Cisco's 300-620 exam
Question #: 108
Topic #: 5
[All 300-620 Questions]

An engineer deploys a two-pod Cisco ACI Multi-Pod environment. Why should no more than two Cisco APIC controllers be deployed in the same pod?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In a two-pod Cisco ACI Multi-Pod environment, it is recommended to deploy no more than two Cisco APIC controllers in the same pod to avoid losing all replicas of a shard if a pod fails. The APIC cluster is a distributed system where each APIC contains a replica of the configuration database, referred to as a shard. If all replicas of a shard were located in the same pod and that pod were to fail, it would result in the loss of the shard and potentially impact the entire fabric's operation.By distributing the APIC controllers across pods, the risk of losing all replicas due to a single point of failure is mitigated, enhancing the overall resiliency of the system1.

I feel like the answer has to do with ensuring local access to a controller for all nodes, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember something about traffic management, so maybe it's to avoid hair-pinning traffic between pods?

I think it might be related to avoiding losing all replicas of a shard if a pod fails, but I'm not entirely sure.
