Early Access Features:
The following Early Access features are included in this

CPDX-3498High Availability support with
redundant Enea Edge Management applications in active standby
configuration.
In order to increase resiliency on the uCPE management side, the
Enea Edge Management application can be installed in High-Availability
mode. Deployment consists of multiple instances of the Enea Edge
Management application, which can be distributed across different Data
Centers and geographical locations, and with multiple MariaDB servers
for each location.
Early Access features are provided for evaluation and early
feedback. They are not allowed to be used for business-critical
deployment, unless previously approved by Enea. Support cases reported on
Early Access features may only be set to a Minor Priority, with the intent
of addressing them in upcoming GA releases.
