A system for transmitting data objects among user profiles receives a request to transmit a particular number of a first type of data object to a receiver profile. The system determines whether a sender profile is associated with the particular number of the first type of data object. In response to determining that the sender profile is not associated with the particular number of the first type of data object, the system identifies one or more other types of data objects that correspond to the particular number of the first type of data object. The system initiates a user interaction session. The system generates a block within a blockchain network to store user interaction session metadata. The system transmits the identified one or more other types of data objects to the receiver profile. The system stores, in the block, a completion token that indicates the user interaction session is completed.

Embodiments described herein provide for an election procedure, in a high availability (“HA”) environment, for a backup controller to assume operations performed by a master controller in the event that the master controller becomes unreachable. The master controller may be associated with (e.g., provisioned on) the same set of hardware as one or more worker nodes, and may control operation of the one or more worker nodes. The election procedure may be performed based on performance metrics, location, or efficiency metrics associated with candidate backup controllers (e.g., cloud-based backup controllers), including performance of communications between particular backup controllers and the one or more worker nodes.

Various techniques for emulating edge locations in cloud-based networks are described. An example method includes generating an emulated edge location in a region. The emulated edge location can include one or more first computing resources in the region. A host in the region may launch a virtualized resource a portion of the one or more first computing resources. Output data that was output by the virtualized resource in response to input data can be received and reported to a user device, which may provide a request to migrate the virtualized resource to a non-emulated edge location. The non-emulated edge location may include one or more second computing resources that are connected to the region by an intermediary network. The virtualized resource can be migrated from the first computing resources to at least one second computing resource in the non-emulated edge location.

Disclosed are embodiments for injecting sidecar proxy capabilities into non-sidecar applications, allowing such non-sidecar applications to communicate with a service mesh architecture. In an embodiment, a method comprises receiving a request to instantiate a proxy for a non-sidecar application at a service mesh gateway (SMG). The SMG then instantiates the proxy in response to the request and broadcasts network information of the non-sidecar application to a mesh controller deployed in a containerized environment. Finally, the SMG (via the proxy) transmits data over a control plane that is communicatively coupled to the mesh controller.

Data recovery systems and methods utilize object-based storage for providing a data protection and recovery methodology with low recovery point objectives, and for enabling both full recovery and point-in-time based recovery. Data generated at a protected site (e.g., via one or more virtual machines) is intercepted during write procedures to primary storage. The intercepted data is replicated via a replication log, provided as data objects, and transmitted to an object based storage system. During recovery, data objects may be retrieved through point-in-time based recovery directly by the systems of the protected site, and/or data objects may be provided via full recovery, for example, within a runtime environment of a recovery site, with minimal data loss and operation interruption by rehydrating data objects within the runtime environment via low-latency data transfer and rehydration systems.

Cloud migration may be performed by identifying applications that are currently operating in the enterprise and performing certain determinations as to whether those applications are proper candidates for the migration to the cloud. One example method of operation may provide identifying at least one application operating on an enterprise network, retrieving current usage data of the at least one application, comparing the current usage data of the at least one application to a threshold amount of usage data to determine whether the application has exceeded the threshold amount of usage data. Next, the creation of an instance process may be performed on an entity operating outside the enterprise network and the application may be operated via the instance process and otherwise terminated in the enterprise network to alleviate resources.

System and techniques for performing snapshot and backup copy operations for individual virtual machines in a shared storage. The system can also include one or more shared physical computer storage devices communicatively coupled to the hypervisor to store the plurality of virtual machines. A plurality of storage volumes can be provided in the one or more shared physical computer storage devices where each storage volume uniquely corresponding to one of the virtual machines. The system can issue a command to a hypervisor to perform a snapshot or backup copy operation with a particular information management policy.

In one embodiment, a system for managing a virtualization environment includes a set of host machines, each of which includes a hypervisor, virtual machines, and a virtual machine controller, and a data migration system configured to identify one or more existing storage items stored at one or more existing File Server Virtual Machines (FSVMs) of an existing virtualized file server (VFS). For each of the existing storage items, the data migration system is configured to identify a new FSVMs of a new VFS based on the existing FSVM, send a representation of the storage item from the existing FSVM to the new FSVM, such that representations of storage items are sent between different pairs of FSVMs in parallel, and store a new storage item at the new FSVM, such that the new storage item is based on the representation of the existing storage item received by the new FSVM.

A method of enhancing security in object based datastores is provided. The method mounts first and second datastores identified, respectively, by first and second datastore identifiers. The first and second datastores include, respectively, first and second namespace objects that are mapped to first and second subfolders in the first and second datastores. A first file within the first subfolder references a first object via a first object identifier, while a second file within the second subfolder references a second object via a second object identifier. The first and second objects are tagged with the first and second datastores' identifiers. The first and second datastores share an underlying storage and may be configured to have separate access permissions. The method receives a command to access the first object via a datastore identifier, compares the datastore identifier with the first datastore identifier, and if they match, allows access to the first object.

A method for block addressing is provided. The method includes moving content of a data block referenced by a logical block address (LBA) from a first physical block corresponding to a first physical block address (PBA) to a second physical block corresponding to a second PBA, wherein prior to the moving a logical map maps the LBA to a middle block address (MBA) and a middle map maps the MBA to the first PBA and in response to the moving, updating the middle map to map the MBA to the second PBA instead of the first PBA.
