I am wondering when to apply active/active failover on two ASA. Is this typically deploy for multi-mode (ASA with different customers/context)?
Thanks.

Active/Active failover can only be deployed in multi context mode. With Active/Active Failover, some contexts are active on one ASA & remaining on the other ASA.

Hi.
Active/active failover means that one router is the backup of the other & viceversa. One router can recover the activity of the other. you have to configure the router to use multiple context, (you must have a license allowing it) .Indeed a have of one router(standby context) will be the backup of the have of the other router (the active context) & viceversa. The aplication of active/active failover is higth availability while distributing traffic bettwen the two router.
You must have two routeur (for exemple two asa) with same hardware and same IOS,read this: On each router you create two context 1 & 2 alos two failover groups must be created
router 1
failover-group1 primary
failover-group2 secondary
we add context1 to failover-group1
we add context2 to failover-group2
router 2
failover-group1 secondary
failover-group2 primary
we add context1 to failover-group1
we add context2 to failover-group2
