Writing multiple data objects to object storage

A network device, comprising

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• a metadata generator that generates metadata for data objects of a set of data objects,
• an object generator that, based on the metadata and the data objects of the set of data objects, generates an aggregated data object,
• a communicator that communicates the aggregated data object to a processing device, and
• a receiver that receives, from the processing device, an indication that:
• the aggregated data object was stored as data chunks by the processing device with updated metadata referencing respective storage locations of the data objects of the set of data objects within the aggregated data object, and
• the processing device separately stored the metadata of the aggregated data object as a metadata chunk.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of network equipment, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving an aggregated data object comprising data objects and metadata corresponding to respective ones of the data objects;
• based on the aggregated data object, storing the respective ones of the data objects to respective storage locations as data chunks stored in data chunk storage equipment;
• based on the respective storage locations, updating the metadata to comprise the respective storage locations;
• and
• communicating the metadata as a metadata chunk to metadata processing equipment, the metadata to be stored at metadata chunk storage equipment.
