Abstract:
A method for secure data synchronization and sharing between distinct cloud environments is disclosed. The method involves establishing a trust relationship between a data provider's private cloud deployment and a data consumer's public cloud deployment. Utilizing hardware processors, a cross-region group sharing token is generated and validated to facilitate secure communication and data traffic between the two cloud deployments. Upon validation, a firewall policy that previously restricted data exchange is disabled, allowing for the replication of a target database from the private cloud to a secure share area accessible by the public cloud deployment. The data consumer is then enabled to access and utilize the replicated database within this secure area. The method ensures consistent data management across both deployments by managing the synchronization of the replicated database with the data provider's original database, thereby maintaining data consistency and integrity.
