  • Patent number: 11934312
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed are directed to a computing system that provides for on-demand scanning for changes in cloud-based object storage systems. The changes can include modifications, additions, or deletions of objects stored in a cloud-based object storage system. The computing system scans, at a first runtime, objects stored in a cloud-based object storage system. The computing system retrieves lookup information associated with a second runtime of a previous scan. Based on the lookup information, the computing system identifies a subset of the objects that were changed or added after the second runtime and before the first runtime. Subsequently, the computing system generates an electronic notification including a consolidated list of the subset of the objects.
