Hybrid cloud based protection for applications and virtual machines

1 . A method, comprising:

identifying, by a processor executable, cloud-based micro-service, a working environment used by an application to store data for an application, the working environment including a non-cloud based, storage system managed by a storage management system;

associating, by the cloud-based micro-service, a policy to protect the application and the data;

in response to the policy, storing, by the cloud-based micro-service, a copy of a backup of the application and the data stored at a first volume location by the storage system to a cloud-based storage separate from storage of the storage system;

providing, by the cloud-based micro-service, application data from the cloud-based backup to a second volume location managed by the storage system, wherein the providing the application data comprises:

interfacing, by the cloud-based micro-service, with the storage management system for a restore operation to restore and recover the application and the data from the second volume location of the storage system;

receiving, by the cloud-based micro-service, a job object, wherein the job object monitors a status of the restore operation;

polling, by the cloud-based micro-service, the job object for tracking the restore operation to restore and recover the application; and

in response to the job object indicating that the status of the restore operation is complete, providing access to the restored application and the data.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the storage management system, the job object for tracking the restore operation.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

notifying, by the cloud-based micro-service, a client system upon determining from the job object completion of the restore operation.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the application is a database.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, by the cloud-based micro-service, a notification from a database plugin executed by the storage management system of successful execution of the restore operation.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

updating, by the cloud-based micro-service, the job object upon receiving the notification.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

presenting, by the cloud-based micro-service, an interface to a client system for adding a working environment for the application.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy enables hybrid protection of the application and the data at both an on-premise data center and the cloud-based storage.

9 . A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method, comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:

identify, by a cloud-based microservice, a working environment used by an application to store data for an application, the working environment including a non-cloud based, storage system managed by a storage management system;

associate, by the cloud-based micro-service, a policy to protect the application and the data;

in response to the policy, store, by the cloud-based micro-service, a copy of a backup of the application and the data stored at a first volume location by the storage management system to a cloud-based storage separate from storage of the storage system;

provide, by the cloud-based micro-service, application data from the cloud-based backup to a second volume location managed by the storage system, wherein providing the application data comprises further causes the machine to:

interface, by the cloud-based micro-service, with the storage management system for a restore operation to restore and recover the application and the data from the second volume location of the storage system;

receive, by the cloud-based micro-service, a job object, wherein the job object monitors a status of the restore operation;

poll, by the cloud-based micro-service, a job object for tracking the restore operation to restore and recover the application; and

in response to the job object indicating that the status of the restore operation is complete, providing access to the restored application and the data.

10 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the application is a database.

11 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the machine executable code further causes the machine to:

generate, by the storage management system, the job object for tracking the restore operation.

12 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the machine executable code further causes the machine to:

notify, by the cloud-based micro-service, a client system upon determining from the job object completion of the restore operation.

13 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the machine executable code further causes the machine to:

receive, by the cloud-based micro-service, a notification from a database plugin executed by the storage management system of successful execution of the restore operation; and

update, by the cloud-based micro-service, the job object upon receiving the notification.

14 . The non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the machine executable code further causes the machine to:

present, by the cloud-based micro-service, an interface to a client system for adding a working environment for the application.
