Snapshot Copy | CloudStack 4.19 Feature First Look
Data replication is an important strategy – to keep valuable data safe and accomplish disaster recovery. Introduced in CloudStack 4.19, the “CloudStack Snapshot Copy” feature adds an important layer of data protection and application availability. It facilitates the replication of the Instance’s Volumes Snapshots across multiple CloudStack Zones, providing a defence against system failures, data corruption, and other disastrous events.
The “Snapshot Copy” feature utilises the Secondary Storage VM to provide data replication, which can be employed in Disaster Recovery scenarios. This functionality is complemented by a user interface that displays a list of zones where a Snapshot is present, as well as the status of the copy, similar to Template registration. With the Snapshot copied to the remote Zones, users can create new Volumes or Instances. This ensures that data can be recovered, and Instances can be swiftly reinstalled in the event of a disaster, enhancing business resilience and continuity.
In this video, Software Engineer at ShapeBlue, Abhishek Kumar, takes you through a demo of the feature as part of our 'Feature First Look' series.
