Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd be great to have a guidance on configuring Pinniped for high availability at scale. There might be challenges when setting up features like leader election, multi-supervisor support, and multi-data center (multi-DC/Region/Zone) configurations without comprehensive documentation.

Providing this information will help the users confidently deploy in production environments with resiliency and reliability in mind.

Describe the solution you'd like

Create a new document that provides:

  • High Availability
    • Instructions for enabling leader election (if supported, if not - why? any ongoing plans?)
    • Recommended configurations for redundancy and fail-over
    • How many supervisors are recommended to run at scale (How many Pods / Clusters)
  • Scalability best practices
    • Fine-tune configurations to optimize performance for large-scale deployments (i.e, multi-supervisors with thousands of concierges)
    • Any known limitations or suggested tuning parameters?
  • Other recommendations
    • Highlight additional/important configurations or tools
    • Address common questions (in the issues) with a FAQ?
  • Extra: Multi-Cluster/DC/Region/Zone Setup:
    • Steps to configure Pinniped Supervisor for multiple clusters (for H/A) - (not per-cluster)
    • Guidance on certificate management for multi-dc usage?
    • Clarify if centralized login is possible across data centers (i.e., single login for eu-west and us-central)

I've read the demo doc but I have some suspects if it covers the some open-questions or concerns above.

Additional context

Include any insights into areas users frequently overlook or struggle with when deploying Pinniped at scale. Ensure documentation is concise and user-friendly.

Sorry if this seems a bit overwhelming due to the many questions. As a new user, I’d like to clarify things before actual usage. I’m happy to simplify if there’s too much context. Thank you!
