==== In case of disaster

For performance reasons, the nodes within a cluster need to be on the same
network. Balancing shards in a cluster across nodes in different data centers
simply takes too long. But high-availability architectures demand that you avoid
putting all of your eggs in one basket. In the event of a major outage in one
location, servers in another location need to be able to take over. Seamlessly.
The answer? {ccr-cap} (CCR).
A cluster's nodes need good, reliable connections to each other. To provide
better connections, you typically co-locate the nodes in the same data center or
nearby data centers. However, to maintain high availability, you
also need to avoid any single point of failure. In the event of a major outage
in one location, servers in another location need to be able to take over. The
answer? {ccr-cap} (CCR).

CCR provides a way to automatically synchronize indices from your primary cluster
to a secondary remote cluster that can serve as a hot backup. If the primary
