Confluent introduces cross-cloud data replication over private networks, enabling secure data movement between AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without using the public internet. This feature leverages Cluster Linking, a fully managed service that mirrors topics across clusters while preserving offsets, facilitating seamless data sharing, disaster recovery, and compliance for organizations adopting multicloud strategies. With private cross-cloud replication, enterprises can maintain data security and connectivity across multiple cloud environments, overcoming traditional barriers related to security and compliance. This setup supports various use cases, including data sharing, disaster recovery, aggregated analytics, and data residency compliance, by replicating data in specific geographic regions. Additionally, Schema Linking ensures that data schemas are mirrored across cloud environments, allowing consumers to access data with full schema compatibility. This advancement simplifies the management of multicloud architectures, reduces complexity, and enhances resilience by providing a straightforward path for client failover and disaster recovery.
