A device creates a first cloud storage container in a first region of cloud storage, clears a delete flag associated with the first cloud storage container, and stores a first data object in the first cloud storage container in the first region of cloud storage. The device receives a request to delete the first cloud storage container, sets a delete flag associated with the first cloud storage container based on the request to delete the first cloud storage container, and deletes the first cloud storage container if the request to delete has not been rescinded prior to expiration of a time period.

An isolation proxy server system separates a typical proxy server or reverse proxy server into two physical computing platforms. A first physical platform, a front end proxy server, receives requests from clients on an external network, but is unable to relay requests by originating corresponding requests on an internal network. A second physical platform, a back end proxy client, originates distinct work requests to the front end proxy server. The front end proxy server forwards client requests to the back end proxy client in responses to the distinct work requests it receives from the back proxy client. The back end proxy client relays the client requests to a target server. Thus, the front end proxy server may not originate new requests to the server(s) in the protected zone, and the back end proxy client may not receive new requests from clients or from the front end proxy server.
