1. A method, comprising:
implementing, at a target data center of a target region, a cross domain system comprising a plurality of nodes forming an ingress channel and an egress channel, the cross domain system communicatively connected to a host data center of a host region, wherein the ingress channel comprises a first data diode enforcing one-way network traffic from the host data center to the target data center, and wherein the egress channel comprises a second data diode enforcing one-way network traffic from the target data center to the host data center;
receiving, at the cross domain system via the ingress channel, configuration data;
configuring, using the configuration data, a static node of the plurality of nodes and a receiver node of the plurality of nodes, the static node configured to provide one or more networking protocols and to be communicatively connected to the receiver node;
receiving, at the receiver node from the host data center via the ingress channel, bootstrapping data;
storing, at the static node, the bootstrapping data;
establishing a network connection between the cross domain system and a seed server in the target data center;
sending, from the static node to the seed server, a portion of the bootstrapping data; and
performing, by the static node, a bootstrapping operation for the seed server by at least configuring the seed server with the portion of the bootstrapping data.
