Method and system for continuous mapping of protection policies to data cluster components

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data protection services for data clusters, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a mapping module of a data protection manager, a discovery event associated with a data cluster;
• in response to identifying the discovery event, by the mapping module:
• sending a request for currently deployed data cluster components to a data cluster manager associated with the data cluster;
• obtaining data cluster component inventory information associated with the data cluster from the data cluster manager;
• making a first determination that the currently deployed data cluster components comprise changed data cluster components using the data cluster component inventory information;
• and
• in response to the first determination:
• mapping protection policy types to newly deployed data cluster components of the data cluster using the data cluster component inventory information and component data protection information;
• updating a data cluster component inventory repository using the data cluster component inventory information;
• and
• initiating performance of data protection services for the newly deployed data cluster components based on the mapped protection policy types.

A system for managing data protection services for data clusters, the system comprising:

• persistent storage for storing a data cluster component inventory repository;
• a mapping module of a data protection manager, comprising a processor and memory, configured to:
• identify a discovery event associated with a data cluster;
• in response to identifying the discovery event, by the mapping module:
• send a request for currently deployed data cluster components to a data cluster manager associated with the data cluster;
• obtain data cluster component inventory information associated with the data cluster from the data cluster manager;
• make a first determination that the currently deployed data cluster components comprise changed data cluster components using the data cluster component inventory information;
• and
• in response to the first determination:
• map protection policy types to newly deployed data cluster components of the data cluster using the data cluster component inventory information and component data protection information;
• update a data cluster component inventory repository using the data cluster component inventory information;
• and
• initiate performance of data protection services for the newly deployed data cluster components based on the mapped protection policy types.
