Abstract

Systems and methods of enabling a service level agreement to specify interactions between an application and a remotely located object store that manages data as objects. A computing device receives data associated with a request to write application data to an object store according to a schedule, wherein the data is file system data. The computing device creates a snapshot associated with the requested application at a snapshot pool, and transmits instructions to a cloud formatting engine to create a virtual disk at a storage pool associated with an object store. The computing device copies the snapshot from the snapshot pool to the virtual disk, the snapshot comprising file system data and transmits instructions to the cloud formatting engine to convert the data associated with the first snapshot into an object, and move the object from the virtual disk to the object store.
