Setting up disaster recovery

How to set up a disaster recovery for SonarQube Server’s Data Center Edition (DCE) deployed on Kubernetes.

To explain the disaster recovery setup in SonarQube Server’s Data Center Edition (DCE) deployed on Kubernetes, we use the example of a system deployed on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). But the overall concept can be adapted to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon Web Services (AWS) with a few modifications.

For the setup explained in this section, you need a basic understanding of Azure Cloud Services.

A forced Elasticsearch reindex is required after a failover event of the Kubernetes cluster hosting the SonarQube DCE server.
