Abstract
A system and method manage data replication in a cloud computing environment using a microservices-based, object-oriented architecture to limit data footprints and enhance security across multiple cloud vendors. A processor encapsulates content into a data unit with locations and access privileges, stored in memory. A footprint table tracks copies, enforcing a predefined maximum via deletion algorithms (e.g., LIFO, FIFO, LRU). The system handles requests to create, access, move, or temporarily store encrypted copies, updating locations and privileges dynamically. Unique features include real-time auditing, temporary copy management with metadata tagging, data virtualization integration, and adaptive replication limits based on system load. This reduces vulnerability by controlling replication, ensuring privilege enforcement, and providing detailed logs, addressing cloud-specific challenges like data sprawl and multi-vendor inconsistency.
