How to clone an environment in CloudRanger
This article applies to:
- Product edition: CloudRanger
Overview
With the introduction of Automated Disaster Recovery 2.0 in CloudRanger, there is an option to create Environments.
With environments you can:
- Encapsulate sections of your cloud infrastructure
- Identify VPC components and group them into environments
- Create environments to enable CloudRanger to manage Automatic Disaster Recovery of resources using Disaster Recovery Plans
You can clone environments to other regions and AWS accounts and also download as a CloudFormation template. This is especially helpful when you want to clone only a specific VPC with specific subnets and security groups from one region to another, instead of cloning the entire VPC .
