Hybrid Sync

Synchronise data bidirectionally between Spinifex and AWS when connectivity allows, so local infrastructure stays usable at intermittently connected sites.

Overview Prerequisites Troubleshooting

Overview

Spinifex's hybrid mode enables bidirectional data synchronization between local infrastructure and AWS cloud services. Ideal for intermittent connectivity environments.

Prerequisites

A running Spinifex cluster (see Setting Up Your Cluster)
AWS CLI configured with the spinifex profile:

bash

export AWS_PROFILE=spinifex

Push Local to Cloud

bash

aws s3 sync s3://local-bucket/ s3://cloud-bucket/ \
  --source-region spinifex --region us-east-1

Pull Cloud to Local

bash

aws s3 sync s3://cloud-bucket/ s3://local-bucket/ \
  --source-region us-east-1 --region spinifex

EBS Volume Backup

bash

rsync -avz /data/ user@cloud-server:/backup/spinifex-data/

Troubleshooting

Sync Fails Mid Transfer

S3 sync is idempotent — re-run the same command to resume where it left off:

bash

aws s3 sync s3://local-bucket/ s3://cloud-bucket/ \
  --source-region spinifex --region us-east-1

Only changed or missing files will be transferred on subsequent runs.
