Abstract
An endpoint of a distributed federation with proxy synchronization including a data center infrastructure, a storage, and an endpoint. The storage stores a state of the data infrastructure and further stores a mirrored state for each of at least one other endpoint. The endpoint includes a communication interface for communicating via a communication network, where the endpoint, in response to receiving a command via the communication interface for changing the mirrored state, forwards the command towards an endpoint that owns the mirrored state via the communication interface. Commands may be forwarded directly or indirectly via one or more intermediary endpoints. An owner endpoint receives a command, updates its local state, and sends one or more events to one or more proxy endpoints to update corresponding mirrored states. A restricted proxy endpoint may store a partial mirrored state. The federation may support bidirectional sharing, synchronization, and resource data sharing.
