Chapter 7. Mirroring data for hybrid and Multicloud buckets

From the Multicloud Object Gateway (MCG) command-line interface, run the following command to create a bucket class with a mirroring policy:

$ noobaa bucketclass create placement-bucketclass mirror-to-aws --backingstores=azure-resource,aws-resource --placement Mirror

Set the newly created bucket class to a new bucket claim, generating a new bucket that will be mirrored between two locations:

$ noobaa obc create  mirrored-bucket --bucketclass=mirror-to-aws

Apply the following YAML. This YAML is a hybrid example that mirrors data between local Ceph storage and AWS:

apiVersion: noobaa.io/v1alpha1
kind: BucketClass
metadata:
  labels:
    app: noobaa
  name: <bucket-class-name>
  namespace: openshift-storage
spec:
  placementPolicy:
    tiers:
    - backingStores:
      - <backing-store-1>
      - <backing-store-2>
      placement: Mirror

Add the following lines to your standard Object Bucket Claim (OBC):

additionalConfig:
  bucketclass: mirror-to-aws

For more information about OBCs, see Chapter 10, Object Bucket Claim.

On the NooBaa page, click the buckets icon on the left side. You can see a list of your buckets:

Click Edit Tier 1 Resources:

Select Mirror and check the relevant resources you want to use for this bucket. In the following example, the data between noobaa-default-backing-store which is on RGW and AWS-backingstore which is on AWS is mirrored:
