Abstract: A first computing device is provided for transmitting one or more volumes via a secured connection. The first computing device includes a controller that is executable by one or more processors and is configured to instruct a cloud computing device to generate a worker virtual machine. The controller is also configured to provide authentication information to facilitate establishing of the secured connection between the controller and the worker virtual machine. The controller is further configured to instruct the cloud computing device to generate one or more target volumes associated with the cloud computing service and to associate the one or more target volumes with the worker virtual machine. The controller is further instructed to provide, irrespective of the content type of the volumes and the size of the volumes, the one or more volumes to the worker virtual machine via the secured connection.
