Cloud storage of virtual machine snapshots and boot volumes
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240036994A1) outlines a method for efficiently managing virtual machine snapshots in cloud storage environments. The method involves receiving the contents of a full snapshot and storing them in cloud storage volumes. Subsequently, snapshots of the virtual machine data volume and boot volume are generated based on the full snapshot. An image of the virtual machine boot volume is created and stored in cloud object storage along with the snapshots, allowing for streamlined data management and recovery processes.
Furthermore, the patent details additional steps such as tearing down cloud storage volumes, restoring standby versions of virtual machines, and provisioning subsequent cloud storage volumes. The method also includes receiving incremental changes, updating snapshot data based on these changes, and generating new snapshots of the updated data. These innovative techniques aim to enhance the efficiency and reliability of cloud storage operations, providing a comprehensive solution for managing virtual machine snapshots in cloud environments.
