Abstract
A computer-implemented method for distributing replication tasks within computing clusters may include (1) identifying a primary volume that is replicated to a secondary volume, (2) identifying a computing cluster with access to the primary volume that includes at least a first node and a second node, (3) receiving a request to write data to the primary volume, (4) logging, via the first node, the request to write the data to the primary volume to a replication log, and (5) using the replication log to replicate, via the second node, the data to the secondary volume. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
