A hybrid cloud deployment for a NoSQL database can be set up where the master deployment resides on-premise or in the cloud, with a standby deployment residing in the opposite location. This setup enables high availability and allows for failover to the standby deployment in case of an outage. The operational applications read and write to one deployment while the analytical applications read and write to another deployment, separating concerns and improving efficiency. Additionally, a cloud burst model can be used where the master deployment resides on-premise but expands to include nodes running in the cloud, allowing for scalability and flexibility. A hybrid cloud setup with multiple cloud deployments can also be implemented, using two-way synchronization and incremental updates, providing high availability at both infrastructure and enterprise levels, and increasing business agility.
