Dynamic Data Self Storage (DDSS) lets you move your data from your Splunk Cloud Platform indexes to a private storage location in your AWS or GCP environment. You can use DDSS to maintain access to older data that you might need for compliance purposes.

You can configure Splunk Cloud Platform to move data automatically from an index when the data reaches the end of the Splunk Cloud Platform retention period that you configure. You can also restore the data from your self storage location to a Splunk Enterprise instance. To ensure there is no data loss, DDSS maintains your data in the Splunk Cloud Platform environment until it is safely moved to your self storage location.
