Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that provide access of a cloud service workload to data of storage devices. A control plane identifies one or more arrays of the storage devices as to what the workload needs access. Discovering is performed by the control plane as to data access of the cloud service to the storage devices. Cloud service accounts which include compute resources used by the workload are identified by the control plane. The control plane provides access to the workload and the compute resources to the data using the data access of the cloud service.

Abstract: Described are system and methods that provide instant access of data of a workload/container-based application, allowing the workload/container-based application to be recreated at the destination container platform. A connection is established between the destination container platform and a source storage; A volume of the container-based application is taken and stored to the source storage. A storage accessed by the destination container platform creates a proxy volume which maps and copies data of the snapshot. The data is pulled from the proxy volume as needed to recreate the container-based application at the destination host platform.
