Claim 13:
14. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
determine respective retention periods for snapshot data entities of a set of snapshot data entities stored in a cloud environment and associated with respective immutability periods, wherein the snapshot data entities comprise data associated with respective sets of one or more computing snapshots, and wherein, for a snapshot data entity of the set of snapshot data entities, a respective retention period for the snapshot data entity comprises a duration of time until the snapshot data entity is eligible for deletion and a respective immutability period for the snapshot data entity comprises a duration of time during which the snapshot data entity is immutable;
extend the respective immutability period for a first snapshot data entity of the set of snapshot data entities based at least in part on the respective retention period for the first snapshot data entity being greater than or equal to a threshold duration; and
maintain the respective immutability period for a second snapshot data entity of the set of snapshot data entities based at least in part on the respective retention period for the second snapshot data entity being less than the threshold duration.
