Abstract

A computed-implemented method is provided for generating object storage datasets from file datasets. The computed-implemented method includes analyzing entries of a file system to identify a file and checking the file against at least one policy. In response to identifying a match between the file and the at least one policy, details of a container are updated. A symbolic link to the file is created to allow access of the file by an object-based client. Updating the details of the container includes updating a database such that the database identifies at least one of the created symbolic link and the details of the container.
