[12:51:48] <alexi5> hello

[16:20:45] <willwh> Hi folks :) I've been reading over this: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/replica-set-architectures/

[16:21:35] <willwh> I'm trying to introduce some more DR options to our setup in general, and Mongo is my last "thing" in our stack to deal with

[16:23:03] <willwh> We have 2 sites; primary & a DR in another DC, I'd like to understand if it's possible to have either site fail and still be able to maintain write in either site

[16:23:12] <Derick> DR?

[16:23:24] <willwh> if anyone has any advice, I'm all ears as I read through the docs again

[16:23:37] <willwh> disaster recovery, effectively another place where we have hot standbys

[16:23:52] <Derick> they're my initials... so I was like WTF :)

[16:24:06] <willwh> @Derick ahahaha :D

[16:24:24] <Derick> In any case, you'd need a third DC with a single arbiter to be able to do allow for a whole DC to go down

[16:24:32] <willwh> ah ok :)

[16:24:46] <willwh> so like, a t2 micro instance in another availability zone or region?

[16:24:54] <Derick> yes

[16:24:58] <Derick> that ought to do

[16:25:14] <willwh> I really appreciate the advice Derick, thank you!

[16:25:28] <Derick> np!
