Cloud-native cross-environment restoration

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions configured to, when executed, cause the processor to:
• extract a resource snapshot into the memory, wherein the resource snapshot is a hierarchical structure in textual form that specifies a first resource configuration indicating where portions of the application are accessed in a first cloud environment;
• perform a transformation comprising a set of Modified JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Patch operations on the resource snapshot, thereby transforming the resource snapshot from the first resource configuration to a second resource configuration indicating where portions of the application are accessed in a second cloud environment, wherein performing the transformation comprises performing each Modified JSON Patch operation from the set of Modified JSON Patch operations in sequence, and wherein performing a Modified JSON Patch operation from the set of Modified JSON Patch operations comprises:
• selecting, using a regular expression, a plurality of strings in a path in the resource snapshot or a plurality of values in the path in the resource snapshot as a capture group;
• and
• applying the Modified JSON Patch operation to the resource snapshot using the capture group;
• and
• restore the application to the second cloud environment based on the transformed resource snapshot specifying the second resource configuration.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable code thereon, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium including instructions configured to cause a computer system to perform operations, comprising:

• extracting a resource snapshot into a memory, wherein the resource snapshot is a hierarchical structure in textual form that specifies a first resource configuration indicating where portions of the application are accessed in a first cloud environment;
• performing a transformation comprising a set of Modified JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Patch operations on the resource snapshot, thereby transforming the resource snapshot from the first resource configuration to a second resource configuration indicating where portions of the application are accessed in a second cloud environment, wherein performing the transformation comprises performing each Modified JSON Patch operation from the set of Modified JSON Patch operations in sequence, and wherein performing a Modified JSON Patch operation from the set of Modified JSON Patch operations comprises:
• selecting, using a regular expression, a plurality of strings in a path in the resource snapshot or a plurality of values in the path in the resource snapshot as a capture group;
• and
• applying the Modified JSON Patch operation to the resource snapshot using the capture group;
• and
• restoring the application to the second cloud environment based on the transformed resource snapshot specifying the second resource configuration.
