Remote Topics

Learn about SRM's remote topics.

In any replication flow, the selected source topics are replicated to remote topics on the target cluster. Remote topics reference the source cluster via a naming convention. For example, the topic1 topic from the us-west source cluster creates the us-west.topic1 remote topic on the target cluster.

Remote topics can themselves be replicated. In this case, the remote topic references all source and target clusters. The prefix in the name will start with the cluster closest to the final target cluster. For example, the topic1 topic replicated from the us-west source cluster to the us-east cluster and then to the eu-west cluster will be named us-east.us-west.topic1.
