A first hardware island is defined as including at least a first compute cluster. First backup infrastructure is associated with the first compute cluster. A second hardware island is defined as including at least a second compute cluster. Second backup infrastructure is associated with the second compute cluster. A partnership is established between the first and second compute clusters. A selection of a backup policy to be associated with a workload is received. The workload is provisioned to the first compute cluster for processing and the selected backup policy is provided to the second backup infrastructure.

Floating backup policies in a multi-site cloud computing environment

An object model is provided that represents resources available in a cloud computing environment as hardware islands. A first compute cluster is registered with a first hardware island. A second compute cluster is registered with a second hardware island. A partnership is established between the first and second compute clusters. Based on the partnership, a workload processed by at least the first compute cluster is protected.

Data protection in a multi-site cloud computing environment

A cloud object model represents resources available in a cloud computing environment as hardware islands. A compute cluster is registered with a hardware island. The compute cluster is designated as being of a particular cluster type. An indication is received from a user to provision the compute cluster with storage. The object model is accessed to determine a cluster type of the cluster. The cluster is provisioned with storage of a type that corresponds to the cluster being of the particular type, where the storage provisioned includes one of replicated storage or non-replicated storage.
