Note Make sure you use the same configuration and policy database settings for each host, otherwise, you will be unable to configure HA for the hosts.
Configure a load balancer to balance the loads among the various Ranger Admin instances and take note of the load balancer URL.
Note Describing the steps you need to follow in order to install and configure a load balancer is not in the scope of this book.
Update the Policy Manager external URL in all Ranger Admin clients (Ranger UserSync and Ranger plug-ins) to point to the load balancer URL.
