Can multisite architecture be on different cloud environments with index replication?

If I have a multisite architecture with site A and site B, can they live on different cloud environments and still have index replication? For example, if I have site A components on Azure but site B is on AWS, can I still utilize index clustering across the two sites for replication?

Hi @jwalrath1 ,

I don't think that this is a question for the Community: it requires a Splunk Professional Service Specialist.

Anyway, if you can define an hostname and/or an IP to use for configurations it should run, but I hint to ask to a Splunk PS.

Ciao.

as @gcusello said it’s better to take Splunk PS or your local splunk parter to figure out this case with all those details which you can’t share here.

But basically this is doable when latency is enough low between those sites (should be) and you are using multi site clustering. Of course you can’t use SmartStore with this configuration. In business point of view this is actually the preferred installation as then you are not dependent of one cloud provider!
