The replication of an asset from a source cluster in a source data center to multiple target clusters in multiple destination data centers. The replication occurs by first estimating or determining a cost parameter associated with copying of the asset from the source cluster to each of at least some of the target clusters. As an example, the cost parameter might be a geographical parameter, but might also be any cost parameter such as a channel bandwidth, channel cost, utilization ratio or the like. Based on the cost parameters, an order of replication priority is determined. Then, the replication is initiated in accordance with the prioritization. The replication may occur in multiple phases, and replication prioritization may occur on a per phase basis.

Replication of assets across data centers

A library of routines may serve as a connection point between multiple services. Each service may be a consumer or provider of data, and may be connected through the library using a registry service. The library may include a provider access mechanism through which provider services may transmit availability of an interface, as well as a consumer access mechanism through which an interface to be consumed may be transmitted. A registry service may match providers with consumers and facilitate communication between the two. The library may be configured to allow providers and consumers to be added or removed at any time.
