This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250004986 titled 'Managing Volume Snapshots in the Cloud

==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems, methods, and machine-readable media for creating, deleting, and restoring volume snapshots in a remote data store are disclosed. a storage volume and a storage operating system are implemented in a software container. through a user interface, a user may create a snapshot of the volume to a cloud storage. a user may also delete individual snapshots from the cloud storage. further, deletion of a most recent snapshot may occur by awaiting deletion (though marking as deleted to the user) until a next snapshot is received. snapshots in the cloud storage are manipulatable even after destruction of the source volume (by destruction of the container, for example). a controller outside the container is used by implementing the same api as the controller in the container had. full restores of snapshots in the cloud are also possible even when the original container and volume have been destroyed.
