Network topology
In the stability pillar of the Alibaba Cloud Well-Architected Framework, designing the network topology for a high availability (HA) architecture is essential. Workloads often exist in multiple environments, including public cloud environments, private cloud environments, and your existing data center infrastructure. Therefore, planning must consider network factors such as connectivity within and across systems, public IP address management, private IP address management, and domain name resolution.
When you design an IP-based network, plan the network topology and address allocation in advance. This helps you handle failures and prepare for future growth and integration with other systems. Alibaba Cloud offers best practices to build a stable and efficient network architecture in the Alibaba Cloud environment. This architecture supports your business's continuous growth and effective operations.
