Abstract: One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for cross-platform replication. For example, a replication relationship may be established between a first storage endpoint and a second storage endpoint, where at least one of the storage endpoints, such as the first storage endpoint, lacks or has incompatible functionality to perform and manage replication because the storage endpoints have different storage platforms that store data differently, use different control operations and interfaces, etc. Accordingly, replication destination workflow, replication source workflow, and/or a proxy representing the first storage endpoint may be implemented at the second storage endpoint comprising the replication functionality. In this way, replication, such as snapshot replication, may be implemented between the storage endpoints by the second storage endpoint using the replication destination workflow, the replication source workflow, and/or the proxy that either locally executes tasks or routes tasks to the first storage endpoint such as for data access.
