Splunk SmartStore for Single Site Indexer Cluster spanning across two AWS Regions

[sosusa]

Can Splunk SmartStore enabled with single site Indexer clustering which is spanning across two AWS regions?  Ex: One set of Indexer Cluster located in AWS Region A and another Set of Indexer Cluster sitting in Region B, Can one s3  Remote Object Store used with all Indexers from both Clusters?  Thanks.

I don't see why not. From Splunk's perspective it's just a remote storage regardless of where the indexers are. As long as you have network connectivity you should be fine.

I suppose it might cost you more if you have inter-region traffic instead if intra-region one but I'm not that good on AWS pricing to say somethig definite here. And it's an issue completely outside of Splunk.
