Methods, systems and computer program products for data protection across computing infrastructure comprising a plurality of geographically distant computing clusters. The geographically distant computing clusters form a distributed system comprising clusters that are assigned into availability zones. Disaster recovery policies are maintained in each of the availability zones. A first cluster detects a modification of a disaster recovery policy. The modification of the disaster recovery policy that occurred at the first cluster is to be communicated over a wide area network. Synchronization of the disaster recovery policy is accomplished by carrying out a peer-to-peer communication protocol over the wide area network. The peer-to-peer communication protocol comprises issuing a first synchronization request message from a source peer, receiving the first synchronization request message at a remote peer, and issuing a synchronization response message by the remote peer, which in turn is transmitted over the wide area network to the source peer.

Methods, system, and computer program product for implementing an address translation service that uses nondenominational address handles instead of IP addresses between private cloud domain and public cloud domains. The address translation service can be implemented to enable a data-center running in a private cloud domain to communicate with the public cloud domain data-center over load balancers. In addition, the address translation service ensures that all services that need to communicate across data-centers can be reached over load balancers. As such, to avoid conflicting subnets used by a data center from the private cloud domain and the public cloud domain, services in the public cloud domain use a private cloud load balancer to connect with the services in a private cloud domain. Similarly, a public cloud load balancer is used to connect with services in the private cloud domain.

A system and method for protecting entities of an availability zone include creating, by a policy engine associated with a virtual computing system, a protection policy definition for replicating a first set of entities of a first availability zone of the virtual computing system to a second availability zone of the virtual computing system. Each of the first set of entities is associated with a first common tag and the first set of entities are spread across first multiple clusters of the first availability zone. The system and method further include capturing, by the policy engine, a first plurality of snapshots of each of the first set of entities in the first availability zone in accordance with a first recovery point objective parameter and storing, by the policy engine, at least one copy of the first plurality of snapshots in the second availability zone.
