Setting up replication across AWS and Azure environments

Setting up replication across clouds is similar to setting up replication from an on-premises (primary) data center to a cloud (secondary) data center. Consider one of the clouds as the primary data center and the other as the secondary data center.

The high-level process is as follows:

  1. Prepare the deployment setup in each cloud.

    See Replication from on-premises to AWS - Linux.

    See Replication from on-premises to Azure - Linux.

    See Replication from on-premises to AWS - Windows.

    See Replication from on-premises to Azure - Windows.

  2. Set up a communication channel between the clouds. For example, you can set up a virtual network gateway or you can configure a VPN-based connection.

  3. Install the appropriate InfoScale product on the compute instances of the primary data and the secondary data center.

    For details, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Installation Guide - Linux or the Veritas InfoScale Installation and Upgrade Guide - Windows.

  4. Configure replication using the VVR option between the InfoScale nodes to which your source and target volumes are attached.

    For details on configuring replication in Linux environments, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Replication Administrator's Guide - Linux.

    For details on configuring replication in Windows environments, refer to the Veritas Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide - Windows.
