DATA GOVERNANCE IN A DISPERSED STORAGE NETWORK USING BUCKET TEMPLATES

Abstract:

Methods and systems for data governance in a dispersed storage network using bucket templates are disclosed. A method includes: creating, by a computing device, a bucket template in a dispersed storage network (DSN) based on a first request, the bucket template including at least a first bucket parameter and at least one allowed value for the first bucket parameter; receiving, by the computing device, a second request to create a bucket in the DSN, the second request including at least a first value for the first bucket parameter; and creating, by the computing device, the bucket based on the first value for the first bucket parameter in the second request and the at least one allowed value for the first bucket parameter in the bucket template.
