-By default, you can complete the following steps as the built-in
-`elastic` user. However, you must <<get-started-built-in-users,set a password>>
-for this user before proceeding.
+Use this guide to set up {ccr} (CCR) between clusters in two
+datacenters. Replicating your data across datacenters provides several benefits:
 
-WARNING: If you are performing these steps in a production environment, do
-not use the `elastic` user.
+* Brings data closer to your users or application server to reduce latency and
+response time
+* Provides your mission-critical applications with the tolerance to withstand datacenter or region outages
 
-Alternatively, you can assign the appropriate privileges to a user ID of your
-choice. On the remote cluster that contains the leader index, a user must have
-the `read_ccr` cluster privilege and `monitor` and `read` privileges on the
-leader index.
+In this guide, you'll learn how to:

+* Configure a <<modules-remote-clusters,remote cluster>> with a leader index
+* Create a follower index on a local cluster
+* Create an auto-follow pattern to automatically follow time series indices

-On the local cluster that contains the follower index, the same user will need
-the `manage_ccr` cluster privilege and `monitor`, `read`, `write` and
-`manage_follow_index` privileges on the follower index.

+To complete this tutorial, you need:
+
+* A license on both clusters that includes {ccr}. {kibana-ref}/managing-licenses.html[Activate a free 30-day trial].
+* The `read_ccr` cluster privilege and `monitor` and `read` privileges
+for the leader index on the remote cluster. <<stack-management-ccr-remote,Configure remote cluster privileges>>.
+* The `manage_ccr` cluster privilege and `monitor`, `read`, `write` and
+`manage_follow_index` privileges to configure remote clusters and follower
+indices on the local cluster. <<stack-management-ccr-local,Configure local cluster privileges>>.
+* An index on the remote cluster that contains the data you want to replicate.
+This tutorial uses the sample eCommerce orders data set.

-Connect your local cluster to a

-replication.
+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.

+. Select *Remote Clusters* from the side navigation.
+. Specify the IP address or host name of the remote cluster (ClusterB),
