Multi-cluster database management services

A method comprising:

• defining, by a processor of a server executing computer-readable instructions, a first policy for a source database on a first cluster of a plurality of clusters, wherein each of the plurality of clusters is registered with the server to form a multi-cluster configuration of a database management system in a virtual computing system, and wherein the first policy defines capture of snapshots and/or transactional logs from the source database on the first cluster;
• defining, by the processor, a second policy for the source database for replicating at least some of the snapshots and/or transactional logs from the first cluster to a second cluster of the plurality of clusters;
• capturing, by the processor, a first snapshot and/or a first transactional log from the source database in accordance with the first policy;
• and
• replicating, by the processor, the first snapshot and/or the first transactional log to the second cluster in accordance with the second policy.

A non-transitory computer readable media comprising computer-readable instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor of a server causes the processor to:

• define a first policy for a source database on a first cluster of a plurality of clusters, wherein each of the plurality of clusters is registered with the server to form a multi-cluster configuration of a database management system in a virtual computing system, and wherein the first policy defines capture of snapshots and/or transactional logs from the source database on the first cluster;
• define a second policy for the source database to replicate at least some of the snapshots and/or transactional logs from the first cluster to a second cluster of the plurality of clusters;
• capture a first snapshot and/or a first transactional log from the source database in accordance with the first policy;
• and
• replicate the first snapshot and/or the first transactional log to the second cluster in accordance with the second policy.
