Abstract
The technology disclosed relates to in-cloud, constant time content scanning. In particular, it relates to obtaining administrative access to a cloud environment account for bulk content scanning of storage resources, and deploying serverless, containerized scanners to run locally on the cloud environment account, including queuing objects in the cloud environment account, partitioning the objects into a plurality of object chunks, and depending upon a M number of object chunks in the plurality of object chunks, initializing a N number of instances of the serverless, containerized scanners, where M>>N. Each initialized serverless, containerized scanner scans a corresponding object chunk exactly once to detect a multiplicity of different data patterns.
