Connect disaster recovery through Cloud Availability

You can connect disaster recovery to the Selectel cloud from another provider's VMware public cloud or from another provider's On-Premises infrastructure or private cloud.

To connect disaster recovery, you must have a VMware-based public cloud organization created in the Selectel Control Panel.

If emergency recovery is connected, perform an emergency switchover in the event of an emergency.

  1. Connect disaster recovery.
  2. Connect to Cloud Availability at Selectel.
  3. Create a replication job.
  4. Optional: create a disaster recovery plan.

    • Local site name;
    • Service endpoint address.
  2. Create a ticket to configure connectivity on the Selectel side. In the ticket, specify the data received from the provider.

  3. Provide similar Selectel cloud data to your provider to configure connectivity on the public cloud side. Specify Service endpoint address as the Service endpoint address:

    • St. Petersburg - https://vcav-spb-1.vmw.selectel.ru
    • Moscow - https://vcav-msk-1.vmw.selectel.ru
