Connecting an instance of AEM to another remote instance of AEM

Has anyone directly connected on instance of the AEM to another remote instance of AEM in order to obtain assets or documents from another instance that is not part of a cluster of related instances?

If so, how bad was the performance hit?

What are some pain points?

Did you watch the recent Ask the Community Experts where they covered similar scenarios?

Obviously not.

Are there links to transcripts or recordings?

"What we are wondering is if there is a way for us to create a service that could connect remotely to another instance's JCR and use content from the remote JCR without having to write a service on both sides."

I would look at writing a custom service to address this requirement. Out of the box - AEM does not have a mechanism to do this. 

I also assume that you have ruled out packaging up the assets to move the other other AEM instances as well.

The problem with packaging is that it would be a one time or ongoing somewhat manual process. We want something seamless and that doesn't require any user action.
