Description: Replication strategy is the method used to determine how information is replicated across multiple nodes in a distributed system. This strategy is fundamental to ensuring data availability and durability, as well as improving the performance of applications that rely on these systems. In a distributed environment, data can be replicated across different geographical locations or across multiple servers within the same data center. Replication can be synchronous or asynchronous, depending on whether changes to the data are immediately reflected in all copies or if there is a delay. The main characteristics of replication strategy include data consistency, fault tolerance, and scalability. Choosing an appropriate replication strategy is crucial for designing systems that handle large volumes of data, as it directly impacts latency, performance, and system resilience. In the context of various distributed systems, replication plays an essential role in efficient data management and resource optimization.
