 # Connect to a remote cluster [_connect_to_a_remote_cluster]
 
-To replicate an index on a remote cluster (Cluster A) to a local cluster (Cluster B), you configure Cluster A as a remote on Cluster B.
+Cross-cluster replication (CCR) relies on the [remote clusters](/deploy-manage/remote-clusters.md) feature. Before configuring CCR, ensure that the source cluster (Cluster A) is registered as a remote cluster on the destination cluster (Cluster B).

-To configure a remote cluster in {{kib}}:
-
-1. Set up a [secure connection](/deploy-manage/remote-clusters/remote-clusters-self-managed.md#add-remote-clusters) as needed.
-2. Go to the **Remote Clusters** management page in the navigation menu or use the [global search field](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/find-apps-and-objects.md).
-3. Select the appropriate connection type.
-4. Specify the {{es}} endpoint URL, or the IP address or host name of the remote cluster (`ClusterA`) followed by the transport port (defaults to `9300`). For example, `cluster.es.eastus2.staging.azure.foundit.no:9400` or `192.168.1.1:9300`.

-::::{dropdown} API example
-You can also use the [cluster update settings API](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-cluster-put-settings) to add a remote cluster:
-
-```console
-PUT /_cluster/settings
-{
-  "persistent" : {
-    "cluster" : {
-      "remote" : {
-        "leader" : {
-          "seeds" : [
-            "127.0.0.1:9300" <1>
-          ]
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-1. Specifies the hostname and transport port of a seed node in the remote cluster.
-
-
-You can verify that the local cluster is successfully connected to the remote cluster.
-
-```console
-GET /_remote/info
-```
-
-The API response indicates that the local cluster is connected to the remote cluster with cluster alias `leader`.
-
-```console-result
-{
-  "leader" : {
-    "seeds" : [
-      "127.0.0.1:9300"
-    ],
-    "connected" : true,
-    "num_nodes_connected" : 1, <1>
-    "max_connections_per_cluster" : 3,
-    "initial_connect_timeout" : "30s",
-    "skip_unavailable" : true,
-    "mode" : "sniff"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-1. The number of nodes in the remote cluster the local cluster is connected to.

+Connecting to a remote cluster depends on the environment your local and remote clusters are deployed on and the security model you wish to use.
 
+The exact details needed to connect to a remote cluster vary. Select a suitable option for your specific scenario based on the local cluster you're configuring:
