Ok i had similar questions, and i am trying to consolidate bits and pieces of info lying else where to get this thread moving ( and possibly this can serve as unofficial document) **Disclaimer :** i have not attempted to set this up yet/ or tried these out 😃😃 At high level cross dc/xdc architecture look something like [this post](https://community.temporal.io/t/temporal-with-aurora-db/357/5) So In my opinion one need to a) setup two independent temporal clusters using existing [helms](https://github.com/temporalio/helm-charts#default-installation-batteries-included) b)Enable global namespace in cluster metadata section c) configure kafa for replication across the two clusters Refer [global domain registration and kafka replication](https://community.temporal.io/t/global-domain-registration-in-java-sdk/282) for step B and C d) of course needless to say all this got to be on TLS, some info on TLS setup is available [in docs](https://docs.temporal.io/docs/configure-temporal-server#tls) e) the below tctl commands can come handy to viewing changing membership details > [@Production HA setup](https://community.temporal.io/t/production-ha-setup/225/7): > > Make sure that the list of hosts from these two commands matches: tctl admin membership list\_gossip tctl admin membership list\_db on a side note : Please be aware kafka will bring zookeeper dependency too. @maxim, @ryland, @samar do you have additional pointers here? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.temporal.io/t/cross-data-center-replication-setup/475)._
