Greetings
I am trying to find documentation on this (Active Active Front End Pool) and i am not seeing anything useful i can use.
Almost all content is on Active-Passive Front End Pool setup.

i am trying to understand the pro and cons of active-active vs active-passive.
Anyone with information will be great. Note before posting MS doc url, please read it because almost all points to active-passive. It seems like active-active front end pools are not supported ?

    Hi @Sarbjit Singh Gill

    Yes, you're right. Skype for Business Server supports AlwaysOn Availability Groups only as active/passive, not active/active.

    Based on my research, Active-active clusters give you access to the resources of all your servers during normal operation. In an active-passive cluster, the backup server only sees action during failover. This is the main difference between them.
