    Hello Community,

    What would be your take on planing multi site architecture in which protected web apps deployed on-premise and in cloud (AWS, Azure, Google etc...) in multiple data centers?
    I've gone through architectural use cases described in docops https://docops.ca.com/ca-single-sign-on/12-8/en/implementing/implementing-ca-single-sign-on/architectural-use-cases
    but they all seem to be very high level and do not cover the following cases:
    1. User self-services such as credential management (password, 2fa) - distributed and replicated / centralized?
    2. User session management when authorization decisions are made based on session variables - session store replication?
    3. How to tackle race condition between login in one site and service consumption in a different site when MW replication suffers latency?
    4. Single logout and federation?
    5. Protected legacy applications in one site and React/Angular in other?

    Seems like JWT authentication is the way to go with CA SSO ( without SMSESSION cookie generation) and CA API Gateway but we loose persistent session data and SLO for federation

    I am lost.
