Andy recently published a support page discussing the in’s and out’s of the move from ‘Remote Copy’ based replication to Policy-based Replication, including High Availability. It’s worth a read and has some useful links and the ‘facts’ around support – in that existing platforms and Remote Copy will continue to be supported for the life of those platforms and as I’ve mentioned before the extremely Long Term Support (eLTS) that is 8.7.0.

In addition, a reminder of a few great posts over the last few years from Chris and Chris – and I am in the middle of some deep dive serialised posts for all things PBR and PBHA… look out for those soon!
