System, method, and device for ingesting data into remote computing environments

Abstract

A system, device, and method for ingesting data into a remote computing environment are provided. The example device comprises a processor, a communications module, and a memory. The processor executes instructions on the memory to receive a data file, and extract metadata from the data file. The extracted metadata comprises at least one property of the data file. A configuration file, from a plurality of configuration files, that is associated with the data file is determined. The determination is performed, at least in part, based on correlating the extracted metadata with data file types used by the determined configuration file. The data file is ingested for storage in a remote computing environment based on the determined configuration file.
