Separate Crawl Farm and UPS Configuration

Question

SharePoint 2016 Enterprise. We have a dedicated crawl farm continuously crawling our content farm. Where do I need to provision the User Profile Service? On the crawl farm or the content farm?

Answer 1

We have same kind of topology, where

• User Profile Sync & Mysite & content in single farm. (for all social features, Manage Metadata related stuff...this will help)
• Search is in Own Farm
• Build the trust between Content & Search farm.
