A GetResourcePolicyAndResourceContainerinfo(ResourceURN) request, in an embodiment, causes the platform data store 112 to return policy and other information regarding the resource container that the resource specified by ResourceURN is part of. Upon receipt of the request, the platform data store 112 may locate the allocated storage space for the resource container that contains the resource specified by ResourceURN, and retrieve the associated policy stored for the resource container as well as any policies stored that are associated with the resource itself. In some examples, there may be no policies stored, in which the platform data store 112 may return an error indicating such. The platform data store 112 may return the policy files, an indication regarding the policies, a summary of the policies, and/or variations thereof. The platform data store 112 may also return additional information, such as metadata, tags, and/or variations thereof.
A GetResourceContainerMetadata(ResourceContainerURN), in an embodiment, causes the platform data store 112 to return metadata regarding the resource container specified by ResourceContainerURN. Upon receipt of the request, the platform data store 112 may locate the storage space allocated for the resource container specified by ResourceContainerURN, and return metadata associated with the resource container. The metadata may include information such as tags, access policies, usage, location, and/or variations thereof. In some examples, if the resource container specified by ResourceContainerURN does not exist, the platform data store 112 may return an error indicating such.
