Scalable and system-agnostic replication mechanism between on-premises and cloud storage systems

A method, comprising:

• performing an initial replication of a group of data, comprising,
• listing, by a system comprising a processor, respective data of the group of data independently of whether respective changes have occurred for the respective data,
• creating respective creation events for the respective data based on performing the initial replication,
• independently of when the respective data were created, and
• independently of whether the respective changes have occurred for the respective data,
• wherein the respective creation events indicate that the respective data have been created, and
• sending the respective creation events for the data to a replication queue;
• retrieving, the system, a change in data of the group of data that are stored in storage from the replication queue;
• in response to determining that the change corresponds to a replication policy, replicating, by the system, the data that corresponds to the change to a target system;
• and
• performing, by the system, a replication on target systems having respective different storage types.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor and communicatively coupled to a device discovery service and a device onboarding service, to perform operations, comprising:

• performing an initial replication of a group of data, comprising,
• listing, by a system comprising a processor, respective data of the group of data independently of whether respective changes have occurred for the respective data,
• creating respective creation events for the respective data based on performing the initial replication, wherein the respective creation events indicate that the respective data have been created, and
• sending the respective creation events for the data to a replication queue;
• retrieving an event notification for data of the group of data from the replication queue, wherein the group of data are stored in storage;
• and
• in response to determining that the event notification corresponds to a replication policy, replicating the data to a target system.
