ObjectScale replication (OSR), also referred to as cross-region replication (CRR), is an eventual consistency model that provides more pause and throttle replication flexibility.
OSR allows users to manage and monitor replication policies and replicate bucket data. Replication between object stores complies with the AWS S3 protocol.
Each source bucket can be configured to replicate some or all its data to one or more destination buckets. The data that is replicated from the source bucket can be replicated based on a key prefix or a tag, or both, for more granular replication. An IAM role must be selected for the source bucket account to replicate the data. On the destination bucket account, the rule can target specific destination buckets that are based on the key prefix and tag.
