Abstract
Techniques are provided for data replication using reinforcement learning to dynamically initiate the transfer of replication data. One method comprises obtaining a state for transferring replication data from a first storage system to a second storage system, wherein the state comprises an amount of replication data to be transferred to the second storage system; assigning a reward value to previously completed replication sessions based on whether a respective previously completed replication session satisfies a designated data recovery objective; determining a start time, using a reinforcement learning framework, for transferring the replication data to the second storage system, wherein the determining is based on the assigned reward values; and initiating the transfer of the replication data to the second storage system using the determined start time. The reward value for a given concurrent replication session may be based on respective replication data transfer times of multiple concurrent replication sessions.
