1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a computer through a user interface, a change to a retention period specified in a federated retention policy, wherein the federated retention policy utilizes a common schema to describe attributes across disparate repositories associated with the federated retention policy, the federated retention policy stored in a federated storage, the disparate repositories residing in a distributed network computing environment and employing different repository schemas comprising the attributes; and
responsive to the change to the retention period specified in the federated retention policy, automatically propagating, by the computer, the change to the retention period specified in the federated retention policy to the disparate repositories, the automatically propagating including:
updating one or more rules of the federated retention policy to reflect the change to the retention period;
storing the updated federated retention policy in the federated storage; and
communicating the updated federated retention policy, through a compliance service, to a retention policy service, wherein the retention policy service stores the updated federated retention policy in the federated storage, wherein the updated federated retention policy stored by the retention policy service is subsequently retrieved and pushed through an orchestrator to the disparate repositories in the distributed network computing environment, thereby synchronizing the updated federated retention policy to the disparate repositories, wherein the evaluation and application of the one or more rules of the updated federated retention policy is performed by the disparate repositories.
