1. A method for managing data protection services for data clusters, the method comprising:
identifying, by a mapping module of a data protection manager, a discovery event associated with a data cluster;
in response to identifying the discovery event, by the mapping module:
sending a request for currently deployed data cluster components to a data cluster manager associated with the data cluster;
obtaining data cluster component inventory information associated with the data cluster from the data cluster manager;
making a first determination that the currently deployed data cluster components comprise changed data cluster components using the data cluster component inventory information; and
in response to the first determination:
mapping protection policy types to newly deployed data cluster components of the data cluster using the data cluster component inventory information and component data protection information;
updating a data cluster component inventory repository using the data cluster component inventory information; and
initiating performance of data protection services for the newly deployed data cluster components based on the mapped protection policy types.
