Multi-Cluster Container Replication

A multi-cluster synchronization system, comprising:

• a first cluster including a first cluster-internal network, the first cluster further including a first structured information repository and a first object storage, wherein the first structured information repository contains metadata corresponding to stored information objects in the first object storage, and wherein the first structured information repository and the first object storage are coupled via the first cluster-internal network;
• a second cluster including a second cluster-internal network, the second cluster further including a second structured information repository and a second object storage, wherein the second structured information repository contains metadata corresponding to stored information objects in the second object storage, and wherein the second structured information repository and the second object storage are coupled via the second cluster-internal network;
• an intercluster network coupling the first cluster and the second cluster;
• an intercluster repository synchronizer coupled to the first and second structured information repositories;
• the intercluster repository synchronizer further including:
• a target module identifying the first cluster as a replication source and the second cluster as a replication target;
• a consistency evaluation module adapted to evaluate the differences between the first structured information repository and the second structured information repository;
• an intercluster replication module adapted to selectively replicate stored information objects in the first object storage in the first cluster to the second object storage in the second cluster based on metadata in the first structured information repository.
