A distributed processing method based on a consistency protocol is provided. The method includes: transmitting a decree prepare request including a first decree number, the decree prepare request requesting other nodes to promise to no longer accept a fast write operation initiated by a leader node whose leader number is less than the first decree number, the first decree number representing a leader number of a current node, and the leader number representing a number of a decree at which the current node that becomes a leader node is located; and in response to receiving decree promises from at least a preset quantity of nodes among the other nodes, enabling the fast write operation from a subsequent decree number of a second decree number determined based on the decree promises, each of the decree promises including the first decree number.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method, including identifying recommended video clips for a user of a communication device according to a video viewing profile for the user and video subject matter information associated with a plurality of video clips, identifying an edge cloud server for facilitating network access by the communication device at a location, determining a reduced activity period for a data path between a video content server and the edge cloud server by comparing activity information for the data path and an activity threshold, directing the video content server to store the recommended video clips at the edge cloud server during the reduced activity period, and providing a listing of the recommended video clips to an application, where the communication device receives a video clip of the recommended video clips from the edge cloud server responsive to a selection of the video clip via the application. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method includes: receiving, by a computing device, input defining a custom storage class in a first dispersed storage network; receiving, by the computing device, input defining a data management rule in the first dispersed storage network; determining, by the computing device, a data object in the first dispersed storage network satisfies the data management rule; and moving, by the computing device and in response to the determining, the data object to a second dispersed storage network according to the custom storage class.

Techniques for using erasure coding in a single region to reduce the likelihood of losing objects in a cloud object storage platform are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system can upload a plurality of data objects to a region of a cloud object storage platform, where the plurality of data objects including modifications to a data set. The computer system can further compute a parity object based on the plurality of data objects, where the parity object encodes parity information for the plurality of data objects. The computer system can then upload the parity object to the same region where the plurality of data objects was uploaded.

Data can be automatically anonymized in a distributed storage system. For example, a system can receive a notification indicating that an object is stored in a non-persistent bucket of a distributed storage system. The system can read the object from the non-persistent bucket in response to receiving the notification. The system can generate an anonymized version of the object by performing one or more anonymization operations with respect to the object. The system can store the anonymized version of the object in a persistent bucket of the distributed storage system. The system can then transmit a command for causing the object to be removed from the non-persistent bucket.
