Zscaler recommends deploying App Connectors in groups to organize availability and horizontal scaling. You can create new App Connector groups whenever you add a new App Connector using a new provisioning key. Every App Connector belongs to a specific App Connector group, and every App Connector group should always be associated with at least one provisioning key and one server group to serve any application. App Connector groups must be associated with applications that the App Connector can access (i.e., only assign App Connectors to applications that the App Connectors are capable of reaching). ZSDK selects the closest App Connector given the location of the user and the App Connector-to-application latency.
