METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR UNIFIED TECHNOLOGICAL STACK MANAGEMENT FOR RELATIONAL DATABASES

摘要

An approach is described for providing unified technological stack management (e.g., via a global storage instance) where metadata is delocalized from storage nodes. The approach includes creating a global storage instance, wherein the global storage instance contains metadata for a storage layer including a plurality of storage nodes, and wherein the global storage instance is delocalized from the plurality of storage nodes. The approach also includes receiving a database operation request from an operating system layer. The approach further includes mediating the database operation request between the operating system layer and the storage layer using the global storage instance.

1. A method comprising:
invoking, by a platform server of a service provider, a global storage instance to maintain a global repository for metadata of a plurality of nodes, the nodes being associated with an operating system layer for managing the metadata, wherein the global storage instance includes a plurality of metadata sets and a plurality of storage blocks, and wherein the metadata is delocalized from the plurality of nodes; and directing, via the global storage instance, communication between the nodes and a storage layer that stores data objects accessible by any one of the nodes, the storage layer being geographically different from the nodes.
