Abstract: Disclosed techniques relate to security of backup data. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, by data protection service running on a cloud computing system, a first encrypted copy of a backup of a first data store that is associated with a first account of an organization, where the first encrypted copy is encrypted using a first custodian cryptographic key that is shared between the organization and the data protection service that is different than a first production cryptographic key that is private and used by the organization to encrypt a non-backup version of the first data store. The method may include generating a second encrypted copy of the backup, including by encrypting the backup using a storage cryptographic key. The method may include storing the second encrypted copy of the backup in a second data store that is associated with the data protection service.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to providing data views from a time-series data lake to a data warehousing system. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques include providing, by a cloud-based service, a data lake service that maintains a time-series data lake storing a time-series representation of data from a plurality of data sources associated with a first organization. In some embodiments, the cloud-based service may receive additional backup data, including a first backup image of a first data source, associated with the first organization as part of a backup operation. The cloud-based service may then store a logical backup of the first data source in the data lake and, in response to a query from a data warehousing system, the cloud-based service may retrieve a particular view of the backup data from the data lake and provide it to the data warehousing system.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the storage of backup data using a time-series data lake. For example, in various embodiments, the disclosed techniques include providing a cloud-based data lake service that maintains data for a plurality of organizations and where, for a first organization, the cloud-based data lake service maintains a time-series data lake that stores a time-series representation of data associated with the first organization. In various embodiments, the data lake service may receive backup data from a plurality of data sources associated with the first organization, generate metadata associated with the backup data, and store the backup data, along with the corresponding metadata, in the time-series data lake.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the modification of data in a time-series data lake. For example, in various embodiments, the disclosed techniques include a cloud-based service that maintains a time-series data lake that includes, for an organization, a time-series representation of data from one or more of the organization's data sources. The cloud-based service may receive a request to modify data associated with a particular user of the organization. As a non-limiting example, this request may correspond to a “Right to Be Forgotten” request from the particular user. This request may include one or more search parameters and an indication of one or more modifications to be performed. Based on the request, the cloud-based service may parse the time-series data lake to identify a subset of data that matches the one or more search parameters and perform the requested modifications on the subset of data in the time-series data lake.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the retrieval of data from a time-series data lake. For example, in various embodiments, the disclosed techniques include providing, by a cloud-based service, a data lake service that maintains data for a plurality of organizations and where, for a first organization, the data lake service maintains a time-series data lake that stores a time-series representation of backup data associated with the first organization. The cloud-based service may receive a request, including one or more search criteria, for data associated with the first organization and, based on the search criteria, retrieve a particular view of the backup data that is stored in the data lake. In various embodiments, the particular view may include backup data from various different data sources and from various different points in time. The cloud-based service may then provide the particular view of the backup data to the requesting entity.

For example, in some embodiments, the disclosed techniques include maintaining, by a cloud-based service, a time-series data lake that includes, for an organization, a time-series representation of a plurality of data sources associated with the organization. In various embodiments, the time-series data lake retains data according to a first retention policy. In response to a request for a subset of data that is associated with the organization, the cloud-based service may retrieve the subset of data from the time-series data lake and then store the subset of data in a particular storage location that retains data according to a second, different retention policy.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating water conservation and smart water control are provided. Water conservation and smart water control can be achieved using a smart water apparatus having the ability to approximate distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object such as a human or inanimate object and adjust flow rate of water and/or temperature of the water based on the approximated distance, mass, and/or specific characteristics of an object. The smart water apparatus can be embodied, for example, in a network connected shower head or a network connected faucet.
