Original Abstract Submitted
a method for data sharing between cloud deployments is disclosed. a provider in a virtual private cloud (vpc) deployment generates a listing of data for sharing with a consumer in a public multi-tenant deployment. after creating a public account and transmitting a link associated with the listing to the consumer, the method responds to the consumer's selection of the link by automatically creating a secure shared area in the vpc deployment. the method includes replicating both a database and share object associated with the listing into the secure shared area as respective replicas. the replicated objects are then shared with the consumer account as data share objects, enabling the consumer to launch them in a consumer mounted database. the method concludes by enabling the consumer to perform database operations on the provider's data within the vpc deployment, ensuring secure and efficient data sharing between the cloud environments.
