Steps
Set cloud_storage_enabled to true on the origin cluster (storage.tiered.config.cloud_storage_enabled in Kubernetes) and supply the object storage bucket and credentials.
Enable tiered storage per topic so segments beyond local retention are uploaded to object storage.
Provision a separate remote cluster and enable cloud storage there, pointing it at the same bucket and topic to create a remote read replica.
Provide the remote cluster with the cloud provider details and any credentials it needs to read from the shared object storage.
Verify consumers on the remote cluster can read historical and near-real-time data without generating load on the origin cluster.
Known gotchas
Remote Read Replicas require an enterprise license; this isn't available on the fully open-source tier.
The remote replica is read-only; it can serve consumers but cannot accept produces, so it's not a substitute for active-active replication.
