Abstract
One example method includes identifying a cloud object as a potential candidate for defragmentation, evaluating the cloud object to determine what portion of segments of the cloud object are expired, when the portion of expired segments meets or exceeds a threshold, segregating the expired segments and unexpired segments of the cloud object, creating a first new cloud object that includes only unexpired segments, creating a second new cloud object that includes only expired segments, and deleting the cloud object from storage.
