Abstract
A system may receive information associated with a write operation to be performed on a data volume. The data volume may be maintained by one or more cloud resources within a cloud computing environment. The system may determine that a snapshot of the data volume is to be created based on receiving the information associated with the write operation. The system may generate a snapshot command based on determining that the snapshot is to be created. The system may create snapshots at the one or more cloud resources based on the snapshot command. The snapshot command may be issued at each of the one or more cloud resources to cause the snapshots to be consistent across the one or more cloud resources. The system may store the snapshots.
