Does configuring OktaAgentService.exe instances contribute to the high availability of the Okta On Prem Provisioning (OPP) agent?

The configuration of OktaAgentService.exe instances does not contribute to the high availability of the Okta On-Prem Provisioning (OPP) agent. This is because the OPP agent is designed to manage provisioning tasks directly from a single point of control and does not inherently include features for high availability typically associated with redundant systems or load balancing across multiple instances.

High availability often relies on strategies such as clustering, failover mechanisms, or load distribution across multiple servers, which are not features of the OktaAgentService.exe when it is set up in a standard way. Therefore, simply configuring multiple instances of the OktaAgentService.exe would not inherently provide redundancy or resilience to failure that is essential for high availability.

In environments where provisioning tasks are critical, having a well-architected infrastructure may involve multiple types of backup or redundancy strategies, but the configuration of OktaAgentService.exe alone, in its typical deployment, does not fulfill this requirement.
