During a network outage between an on‑premises location and Citrix Cloud in a Cloud‑managed site, which statement describes what will occur?

• A. One of the Cloud Connectors at the resource location is elected to be the primary broker and uses its Local Host Cache to broker new sessions and manage existing HDX connections
• B. Users will not be able to access published resources and existing sessions will be disconnected until connectivity is restored
• C. The Cloud Connectors at the resource location will continue to manage existing sessions, but no new sessions can be started
• D. StoreFront will automatically broker sessions from the on‑premises store

Answer: (A)

During a network outage in a Cloud-managed Citrix site, Local Host Cache on the on-premises resource location keeps the broker function local. One of the Cloud Connectors at that site is elected as the primary broker and uses its Local Host Cache to handle requests—broker new sessions and manage existing HDX connections—without needing to reach Citrix Cloud. This allows users to access published resources and maintain active sessions even when the connection to the cloud control plane is down. When connectivity returns, the environment resynchronizes with Citrix Cloud. StoreFront isn’t involved in this Cloud-managed scenario, and relying solely on existing sessions without allowing new ones isn’t accurate because the Local Host Cache enables new session brokering locally, not just continued sessions.
