Salient Features

Single Sign-On (SSO)

SSO is a vital component of modern digital authentication systems, offering significant advantages for both users and organizations alike. One of the primary benefits of SSO is improved security. With SSO, users manage fewer passwords, reducing the likelihood of weak or reused passwords. Additionally, centralized authentication and authorization mechanisms enable organizations to enforce stronger security policies, such as multi-factor authentication and access controls, consistently across all connected systems. This helps mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Furthermore, SSO promotes operational efficiency by reducing the burden on users and IT administrators.

Accessibility: Users would be able to access the R2, using SSO over OIDC protocol.
Secured: By configuring SSO, users will be able to access R2 on Web with their AD credentials.
The AD authentication will be federated to R2 on Web.

High Availability

Redundancy: Ensures minimal downtime with multiple nodes ready to take over in case of a failure.
Load Balancing: Distributes workloads evenly across the cluster, preventing any single node from becoming a bottleneck.
Failover Mechanism: Automatic failover to standby nodes in case of a node failure.

Scalability

Horizontal Scaling: Ability to add more nodes to handle increased load.
Vertical Scaling: Upgrading existing nodes with more powerful hardware.

Performance

Optimized Resource Utilization: Efficient use of CPU, memory, and storage resources.
