Abstract:
Hybrid clouds combine the benefits of a public cloud and on-premise deployments of cloud solutions. One scenario for the use of hybrid clouds is privacy: since public clouds are considered unsafe, sensitive data is often kept on premise. However,other non-sensitive resources can be deployed in a public cloud in order to benefit from elasticity, fast provisioning, or lower cost. In this work, we present an approach for hybrid cloud object storage based on the federation of storage resources. It uses the metadata of the objects and containers as a fundamental concept to set up and manage a hybrid cloud. Our approach extends an existing scheme for implementing federation for object storage developed by the VISION Cloud project.
