DR from on-premises to AWS and across AWS regions or VPCs - Linux

InfoScale Enterprise lets you use the global cluster option (GCO) for DR configurations. You can use a DR configuration to fail over applications across different regions or VPCs in AWS. The cluster nodes can be in the same AZ or in different AZs.

You can also use GCO to configure applications for DR from an on-premises site to AWS.

The following graphic depicts a sample DR configuration across AWS regions:

The following snippet is a service group configuration from a sample VCS configuration file (main.cf) at the primary site (Region A):
