Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for exposing object storage as a service. The method generally includes receiving, by an object service proxy provisioned for providing the service, a request to access a first object in an object store, wherein the object store leverages a percentage of datastore capacity for a datastore, determining, by the object service proxy, both of: an identifier of a container in the object store comprising the first object and an internet protocol (IP) address associated with an object protocol service provisioned to access the container comprising the first object, re-directing, by the object service proxy, the request to access the first object to the object protocol service using the IP address associated with the object protocol service, wherein the request comprises the identifier of the container and in response to re-directing the request, receiving the first object from the object protocol service.
