Storage tiering for computing system snapshots

An apparatus for data management, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• memory coupled with the at least one processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit, from a data management system to a first cloud environment comprising a first type of cloud storage, first signaling that instructs the first cloud environment to capture a first snapshot of a computing object within the first cloud environment and to store the first snapshot in the first type of cloud storage;
• determine, by the data management system, that the first snapshot has been stored in the first type of cloud storage for a duration of time that satisfies a threshold duration of time;
• and
• transmit, from the data management system and based at least in part on the first snapshot being stored in the first type of cloud storage for the duration that satisfies the threshold duration, second signaling that instructs the first cloud environment to store the first snapshot to a second type of cloud storage, wherein the second type of cloud storage is within the first cloud environment or a second cloud environment, and wherein the second type of cloud storage is associated with a longer access latency than the first type of cloud storage.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for data management, the code comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:

• transmit, from a data management system to a first cloud environment comprising a first type of cloud storage, first signaling that instructs the first cloud environment to capture a first snapshot of a computing object within the first cloud environment and to store the first snapshot in the first type of cloud storage;
• determine, by the data management system, that the first snapshot has been stored in the first type of cloud storage for a duration of time that satisfies a threshold duration of time;
• and
• transmit, from the data management system and based at least in part on the first snapshot being stored in the first type of cloud storage for the duration that satisfies the threshold duration, second signaling that instructs the first cloud environment to store the first snapshot to a second type of cloud storage, wherein the second type of cloud storage is within the first cloud environment or a second cloud environment, and wherein the second type of cloud storage is associated with a longer access latency than the first type of cloud storage.
