With AOS 5.17 version recently released, Nutanix introduced support for AHV Synchronous replication (RPO=0) with Nutanix Leap. Nutanix Leap helps streamline and orchestrate disaster recovery for applications running on the Nutanix platform. Tasks like workload Re-IP, test failover, failback, execute pre-failover, or post-failover scripts, boot order can be now as part of the DR workflow.
