Abstract: Example implementations relate to data synchronization. According to an example, a system includes a processing system to execute a workload container, the workload container including a user workload application, the user workload application including a sync client; a data storage system, coupled to the processing system, to store user data; and a sync controller to control synchronization of the user data between the sync client and a sync server executing on a customer computing system and pull a selected portion of the user data from the customer computing system to the sync client. The sync client incrementally updates the user data stored on the data storage system with the selected portion of the user data to synchronize the user data between the customer computing system and the cloud computing system.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to enabling the creation and/or modification of artifacts on an operating system (OS) volume. A manager may be provided in communication with an appliance hosting an OS volume. The OS volume may be mounted on the manager to provide permissions to access the OS volume from the manager. Artifacts to be implemented on the mounted OS volume may be created and/or modified.
