Option D could be useful for caching, but not a full solution.

Wait, can we really just do nothing with option A? Seems risky!

I think no changes are needed if the Followers are already set up, but I’m not confident that’s the best solution.

I feel like we covered something about caching on Followers, but I can't recall if option D is the right approach for this scenario.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think extending the auto failover cluster could be the best way to ensure availability, like option C suggests.

I remember discussing the importance of having a backup leader in case the primary goes down, so option B sounds familiar.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'd go with option C - extending the auto failover cluster to include Standby instances in each data center. That way, the failover will be automatic and the applications won't experience any downtime.

Okay, I think I've got it. The question is asking us to set up a highly available Conjur deployment, so we need to have Standby instances in each data center that can take over as the Leader if the current Leader becomes unavailable. That way, the applications can still access the secrets.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between a Follower and a Standby in Conjur. I'll need to review the documentation to make sure I understand the architecture before I can confidently answer this.

This seems like a straightforward question about ensuring high availability for Conjur. I think the key is to understand the difference between a Follower and a Standby, and how to set up automatic failover.

I'm all about that Option C life. AuBelenatic recovery is the way to go - no need to manually promote a Standby, that's just asking for trouble.

Option D, huh? Deploying a CP provider on the Follower server for offline caching? Sounds like a real 'cache in the clouds' kind of move.
