    Abstract: Techniques are provided for on-demand creation and/or utilization of containers and/or serverless threads for hosting data connector components. The data connector components can be used to perform integrity checking, anomaly detection, and file system metadata analysis associated with objects stored within an object store. The data connector components may be configured to execute machine learning functionality to perform operations and tasks. The data connector components can perform full scans or incremental scans. The data connector components may be stateless, and thus may be offlined, upgraded, onlined, and/or have tasks transferred between data connector components. Results of operations performed by the data connector components upon base objects may be stored within sibling objects.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for a snapshot difference interface integrated into an object store data management container. The snapshot difference interface is capable of interpreting an object format and snapshot file system format of snapshots backed up to an object store within objects formatted according to the object format. The snapshot difference interface can identify differences between snapshots, such as files that changed between the snapshots, while the snapshots are still resident within the object store. Because the snapshot difference interface does not retrieve the snapshots from the object store, security is improved, resource and network consumption is reduced, and there is less of an impact upon client I/O processing. Also, a compliance scan for the snapshots can be performed much quicker by skipping already scanned snapshot data from a prior compliance scan.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing data requests associated with objects of an object store. A data connector component may be instantiated as a container for processing data requests associated with backup data stored within objects of an object store. The data connector component may evaluate the object store to identify snapshots stored as the backup data within the objects of the object store according to an object format. The data connector component may provide a client device with access to backup data of the snapshots.
