1. A method comprising:

  • associating an access policy with a replication relationship, wherein the access policy is for a storage resource within first storage hosted by a first device, wherein the access policy defines an authentication mechanism, an authorization mechanism, and an access control mechanism, and wherein the replication relationship is between the first device and a second device for replicating data between the first storage and second storage hosted by the second device, wherein the access control mechanism specifies a resource restriction where data is replicated based upon a threshold amount of resources becoming available for executing data replication requests, wherein the threshold amount of resources is negotiated between the first device and the second device;

    receiving a data replication request targeting the first storage; and

    utilizing the authentication mechanism, the authorization mechanism, and the access control mechanism to selectively implement or deny the data replication request based upon the replication relationship.
