Hi Venugopal Reddy Ettireddy

There is no CDA Kubernetes edition.

The challenge here is that the CDA-server component (= backend) requires a Windows IIS runtime environment based on .Net Framework 4.8. Therefore, you have to run your Docker environment on Windows, which is not very common.
In addition, you have to install the CDA-UI-plugin into your AWI container and set the connection properly to the CDA-server backend.
As CDA's UI is not only handled by the plugin but also from the IIS you have to configure your network properly otherwise the browser will not show up the complete UI as it is delivered by different endpoints (CDA-server and AWI-server).

Based on this I would only run the AE in a Docker environment and use a separate Windows Server to host the AWI's webserver (e.g. Tomcat) and CDA-server (IIS). In order to have high availability you can have more than one of this Windows host and the clients access it via a load balancer.

Hope this helps

Michael
