Abstract
In a particular embodiment, a storage service agent on an edge device is configured to access a particular set of storage system application programming interfaces (APIs) of at least one storage system, where the storage service agent communicatively coupled to a cloud-based storage service. The storage service agent invokes one or more storage system APIs of the particular set of storage system APIs in response to a control message from the cloud-based storage service.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- configuring, for accessing storage system application programming interfaces (APIs) of a storage system, an edge device that is responsive to messages from a cloud-based control plane;
- and
- invoking, by the edge device in response to a message from a cloud-based storage service, one or more storage system APIs of the storage system.
A method comprising:
- configuring, by a cloud-based storage service, installation for a storage service agent that is a local extension of a microservice provided by the cloud-based storage service;
- and
- executing, by the cloud-based storage service, the installation of the storage service agent for one or more edge devices.
An apparatus comprising a computer processor, a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to:
- configure, for accessing storage system application programming interfaces (APIs) of a storage system, an edge device that is responsive to messages from a cloud-based control plane;
- and
- invoke, by the edge device in response to a message from a cloud-based storage service, one or more storage system APIs of the storage system.
