Connect to a remote cluster
To replicate an index on a remote cluster (Cluster A) to a local cluster (Cluster B), you configure Cluster A as a remote on Cluster B.
To connect to a remote cluster, you consider the preferred security model to use for authenticating remote connections between clusters, choose a connection mode, and depending on where the cluster you want to use as remote is hosted, you configure its connection address.
