FMC HA between VM and AWS

Hi,

Is it possible to have 2 x FMC in HA, one virtual running in VMware on-prem and the stand-by running in AWS?

Thx

Need to be exactly same fmc ver.

Are both use same ver. ?

Also interface interconnect both fmc how you match them for config? <<- this point even if ver. Same will not allow you to config HA

Thx @MHM Cisco World

I also see this in the doc you shared "Both FMC peers are required to have the same capacity or hardware version" so no way of having this setup as I imagined.
