Abstract
Systems and methods for managing access to data stored in a distributed manner across different zones of a multi-zone computing platform involve maintaining a global representation of all data stored within the multi-zone computing platform. After receiving a request on behalf of a user to access given data, a first zone of the multi-zone computing platform (i) obtains, from the global representation, information indicating a particular zone where the given data is stored, (ii) validates the request, and (iii) if the validation is successful, processes the request. If the given data is stored at the first zone, the first zone retrieves the given data for provision to the user. If the given data is stored at a second zone, the first zone issues a request to the second zone to validate the request, and if the validation is successful, retrieve the given data for provision to the user.
