Backup of application data associated with an application executing in a virtual machine managed by a hypervisor is performed. Backup of the application data includes retrieving a Logical Unit Number (LUN) identification (ID) used by the application to store the application data in a storage volume. Backup of the application data also includes performing a virtual storage resolution for the LUN ID to determine whether the application data is stored in the storage volume identified by the LUN ID based on a first virtual mapping or a physical mapping. Backup also includes storing in metadata for the backup the LUN ID and whether the LUN ID is based on the first virtual mapping or the physical mapping. Backup includes creating a backup of the application data stored in the storage volume. Application data can subsequently be restored based on the application data that is backed up.

Backup and recovery of application data of an application executing in a virtual machine

A data storage interface layer provides access management and transformation of data stored in various backend storage clusters. The data storage interface can serve as a point of access for data accessors to access stored data via a consistent data access protocol, even when a data storage cluster on which requested data is stored may use a different protocol. The data storage interface can also provide in-line transformation of requested data and/or control of access to requested data.

Data storage interface layer with access and transformation management

A data storage interface provides access to data storage clusters that may not otherwise be accessible to data accessors. The data storage interface can serve as a point of access for data accessors to access stored data via a consistent data access protocol, even when a data storage cluster on which requested data is stored may use a different protocol. The data storage interface can also provide access across network boundaries, such as those between different private cloud computing systems (e.g., virtual private clouds or 'VPCs').

Data storage interface for protocol-agnostic storage services

A geographically distributed system using a hybrid, multi-master design is disclosed. The system may use global tables, for which both reads and writes may be performed locally, but with a single region serving as a master region. All strongly consistent reads and writes may be sent to the master region, whereas eventually consistent reads and writes may be performed in any region with a replica. The master region may not be statically assigned but may move from region to region. The master region may be assigned manually by client preference or may be assigned and updated automatically based on the time of day or workload characteristics.

Multi-region, multi-master replication of database tables

Methods and systems for providing storage services in a networked environment are provided. A management device interfaces with a plurality of management layers that communicates with a plurality of application plugins executed by a plurality of computing devices. Each application plugin is associated with an application for providing storage services for stored objects managed by a storage system. A same request and response format is used by the management device to obtain information from the plurality of management layers regarding storage space used by the plurality of applications for storing the stored objects and the management device maintains storage space information as a storage resource object for virtual storage resources and physical storage resources used by the plurality of applications for storing the stored objects.
