ADSS Web RA Instances are used to push the ADSS Web RA Admin configurations to the web, API, and device components. Also, the administrators can use Instances to check the status of each component whether it is a stand-alone deployment or a cluster deployment (High Availability).


When you install ADSS Web RA as a load-balanced instance through ADSS Web RA installer, an entry is created in the ADSS Web RA database for each instance along with its specific machine IP and URL. All the installed instances are then listed in ADSS Web RA Admin, where an admin operator can monitor their current status and modify their machine name or service address as required. Hence, providing a smart way of publishing the changes on all the ADSS Web RA instances by using a single interface. If the administrator changes the URLs of the website, he/she can use the edit option to add new URLs so that the ADSS Web RA can communicate on that URL to get the website status.


In this way, ADSS Web RA is configured as a High Availability service, as the network load is automatically shared across multiple servers in a fast and reliable manner.
