 == December 2025
 
+=== Shadowing
+
+Redpanda Cloud now supports xref:manage:disaster-recovery/shadowing/overview.adoc[Shadowing], a disaster recovery solution that provides asynchronous, offset-preserving replication between distinct Redpanda clusters. Shadowing enables cross-region data protection by replicating topic data, configurations, consumer group offsets, ACLs, and Schema Registry data with byte-level fidelity.The shadow cluster operates in read-only mode while continuously receiving updates from the source cluster. During a disaster, you can failover individual topics or an entire shadow link to make resources fully writable for production traffic.
+
+Shadowing is supported on BYOC and Dedicated clusters running Redpanda version 25.3 and later. 
+
 === Metrics for Serverless
 
 You can now view and export metrics from Serverless clusters to third-party monitoring systems like Prometheus and Grafana. See xref:manage:monitor-cloud.adoc[Monitor Redpanda Cloud] for details on configuring monitoring for your Serverless cluster and xref:reference:public-metrics-reference.adoc[Metrics Reference] for a list of metrics available in Serverless.

+
+Shadowing complements Redpanda's existing availability and recovery capabilities. High availability actively protects your day-to-day operations, handling reads and writes seamlessly during node or availability zone failures within a region. Shadowing is your safety net for catastrophic regional disasters. Shadowing delivers near real-time, cross-region replication for mission-critical applications that require rapid failover with minimal data loss.
+
+NOTE: Shadowing is supported on BYOC and Dedicated clusters running Redpanda version 25.3 and later.
