Planning an Apps10-on-Azure deployment raised a few architecture questions: can Apps10 sit behind an Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) for public-facing access, and is cross-region load balancing/failover possible to avoid a single point of failure while running a hybrid EE-plus-Aurena setup?

Answer

Yes to both, and this has been done for other customers already: a public-facing IFS application server can be fronted by an Azure WAF, and Azure's own cross-region load-balancing/failover capabilities can be used to fail over to a secondary region if the primary becomes unavailable — this is commonly coupled with Oracle Data Guard specifically to reduce RPO (data loss window) and RTO (recovery time) as part of that same failover architecture, rather than relying on Azure's networking failover alone.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
