Resolution

#for a Tethered Cluster
If the Mashery Local cluster is deployed in Tethered-mode, all the required information(endpoints, APIKeys, Tokens etc) is available on the corresponding cloud-area or Mashery On-Prem Manager.
So in case of failure on the container level, the configuration information is still available on cloud and the pods/containers will sync via MOM, once they are restored/redeployed.

#for an Untethered Cluster.
Such a cluster would be truly on-prem and there is no cloud area it is syncing with.
In this configuration:
- the Log, Cache, SQL & NoSQL containers are stateful and usually store their data in volumes/persistent-volumes
- the CM & TM containers are stateless and get their info from above containers.

Depending on the deployment platform, external (nfs etc) storage should be configured for the stateful containers/pods so that data can be restored when required.
