Abstract
A system and method for protecting entities of an availability zone include creating, by a policy engine associated with a virtual computing system, a protection policy definition for replicating a first set of entities of a first availability zone of the virtual computing system to a second availability zone of the virtual computing system. Each of the first set of entities is associated with a first common tag and the first set of entities are spread across first multiple clusters of the first availability zone. The system and method further include capturing, by the policy engine, a first plurality of snapshots of each of the first set of entities in the first availability zone in accordance with a first recovery point objective parameter and storing, by the policy engine, at least one copy of the first plurality of snapshots in the second availability zone.
