Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A data management system may include a control-plane common to multiple customers, where customer data for each customer is stored on a private data plane (e.g., at a remote node cluster). Each node cluster includes a controller which manages the nodes of the node cluster. A taskchain controller of the control plane may directly communicate with the nodes of the multiple node clusters, for example, via respective proxy services hosted at the node controllers or via respective service buses. The taskchain controller may communicate a command to add a new node to the node controller, and the node controller may create a new node based on the command. Future communications (e.g., commands to perform data protection tasks such as backup or restore operations) may be routed to the node via the proxy service or a service bus.
