A first application within a first container of a container orchestration platform may be hosted at a first region of a multi-cloud environment. A second application within a second container of the container orchestration platform may be hosted at a second region of the multi-cloud environment. Data of the first application may be stored within storage located within the first region of the multi-cloud environment. In response to determining that the second application has a threshold probability of accessing the data of the first application (e.g., a snapshot that the second application can restore), the data may be cached as cached data within a network edge of the second region for access by the second application ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: storing data within a first storage bucket in a first region of a multi-cloud environment, wherein the data is made available to a first application hosted within the first region;
