Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product may enforce DNS compliant names for containers in an object storage system to perform automatic DNS updates. A container creation request may be received, and it may be determined whether the container name is DNS compliant. DNS entries may be created according to the DNS compliant container name, and the creation of the DNS entry may include identifying a vault container, identifying a set of DS processing units servicing the vault container, and creating DNS entries that point to the set of DS processing units.
Claims20
A method for performing automatic DNS updates in an object storage system, the method comprising:
- receiving a container creation request;
- determining that a container name in the container creation request is DNS compliant;
- creating one or more DNS entries according to the DNS compliant container name, the creation comprising:
- identifying a vault container;
- identifying a set of DS processing units servicing the vault container;
- and
- creating DNS entries that point to the set of DS processing units servicing the vault container.
A system for performing automatic DNS updates in an object storage system, the system comprising:
- a memory with program instructions stored thereon;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a container creation request;
- determining that a container name in the container creation request is DNS compliant;
- creating one or more DNS entries according to the DNS compliant container name, the creation comprising:
- identifying a vault container;
- identifying a set of DS processing units servicing the vault container;
- and
- creating DNS entries that point to the set of DS processing units servicing the vault container.
A computer program product for performing automatic DNS updates in an object storage system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a device to cause the device to perform a method, the method comprising:
- receiving a container creation request;
- determining that a container name in the container creation request is DNS compliant;
- creating one or more DNS entries according to the DNS compliant container name, the creation comprising:
- identifying a vault container;
- identifying a set of DS processing units servicing the vault container;
- and
- creating DNS entries that point to the set of DS processing units servicing the vault container.
