Abstract
An interface is instantiated for receiving storage requests for storing data in a software-defined storage network using an append-only storage scheme. The interface receives requests that are agnostic of interfaces and hardware-specific details of the storage devices of the software-defined storage network. A request comprises an identifier of a data object to be stored in the software-defined storage network using the append-only storage scheme. Metadata is generated for the data object indicating that the data object is an append-only object; and the request is translated to instructions for storing the data object in the storage devices using the append-only storage scheme. The data object is stored at one of the plurality of storage devices based on the instructions. The metadata is updated to indicate a mapping between the data object and a stored location of the data object.
