US 2024/0403093 A1 · OBJECT STORAGE SERVICE LEVERAGING DATASTORE CAPACITY

Abstract

The disclosure provides a method for exposing object storage as a service. The method generally includes receiving, by an object service proxy provisioned for providing the service, a request to access a first object in an object store, wherein the object store leverages a percentage of datastore capacity for a datastore, determining, by the object service proxy, both of: an identifier of a container in the object store comprising the first object and an internet protocol (IP) address associated with an object protocol service provisioned to access the container comprising the first object, re-directing, by the object service proxy, the request to access the first object to the object protocol service using the IP address associated with the object protocol service, wherein the request comprises the identifier of the container and in response to re-directing the request, receiving the first object from the object protocol service.

Dependent claims

A method for exposing object storage as a service, the method comprising:

receiving, by an object service proxy provisioned for providing the service, a request to access a first object in an object store, wherein the object store leverages a percentage of datastore capacity for a datastore;
determining, by the object service proxy, both of:
an identifier of a first container in the object store comprising the first object;
and
an internet protocol (IP) address associated with an object protocol service provisioned to access the first container comprising the first object;
re-directing, by the object service proxy, the request to access the first object to the object protocol service using the IP address associated with the object protocol service, wherein the request comprises the identifier of the first container;
and
in response to re-directing the request to the object service proxy, receiving the first object from the object protocol service.

5 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
at least one memory, the one or more processors and the at least one memory configured to:
receive, by an object service proxy provisioned for providing the service, a request to access a first object in an object store, wherein the object store leverages a percentage of datastore capacity for a datastore;
determine, by the object service proxy, both of:
an identifier of a first container in the object store comprising the first object;
and
an internet protocol (IP) address associated with an object protocol service provisioned to access the first container comprising the first object;
re-direct, by the object service proxy, the request to access the first object to the object protocol service using the IP address associated with the object protocol service, wherein the request comprises the identifier of the first container;
and
in response to re-directing the request to the object service proxy, receive the first object from the object protocol service.

8 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for exposing object storage as a service, the operations comprising:

receiving, by an object service proxy provisioned for providing the service, a request to access a first object in an object store, wherein the object store leverages a percentage of datastore capacity for a datastore;
determining, by the object service proxy, both of:
an identifier of a first container in the object store comprising the first object;
and
an internet protocol (IP) address associated with an object protocol service provisioned to access the first container comprising the first object;
re-directing, by the object service proxy, the request to access the first object to the object protocol service using the IP address associated with the object protocol service, wherein the request comprises the identifier of the first container;
and
in response to re-directing the request to the object service proxy, receiving the first object from the object protocol service.
