Managing SD-WAN instances
An SD-WAN instance is the Kaspersky SD-WAN solution deployed for one tenant. You can configure the SD-WAN instance to meet your organization's requirements for flexibility, security, and performance when transferring data over the WAN.
To avoid having to configure each instance from scratch, you can specify SD-WAN instance settings in a template and then use the template when deploying SD-WAN instances for your tenants. If you want a tenant to use an SD-WAN instance template, you must add that tenant to the template.
If the settings specified in the SD-WAN instance template do not match the actual settings of the tenant's instance, the solution is not deployed. For example, you may encounter an error when deploying the solution for a tenant if the SD-WAN instance template that is being used specifies the number of Controller nodes that differs from the actual number of nodes that the tenant has.
You can pool SD-WAN instances for scalability and fault tolerance, especially if a great number of CPE devices is used. Each SD-WAN instance pool is a load balancer with CPE devices as the load.
When adding a CPE device, you can assign it to a pool of SD-WAN instances or to individual instances from that pool. If you assign a CPE device to a pool of SD-WAN instances, the orchestrator automatically selects from this pool the SD-WAN instance with the least number of devices and assigns the device to that instance. If the quantities of CPE devices are the same, the SD-WAN instance is selected randomly.
