Abstract
A method includes retrieving an object from storage and copying the object, generating a list that identifies one or more byte ranges, of the copy of the object, to be masked, providing the list to a masker controller microservice that examines a recipe corresponding to the copy of the object, where the recipe references a slice of the copy of the object, and the slice includes one or more data segments, masking, by the masker controller microservice, a segment of the slice that is in one of the byte ranges, to create a masked segment, and replacing, in the slice, the segment with the masked segment, to create a masked slice and creating a masked object recipe that contains a reference to the masked slice, creating a masked object that includes the masked slice, and that references any unmasked segments of the slice, and deduplicating the masked object.
