1. A storage system, comprising:
a memory or other data storage device; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory or other data storage device and configured to:
detect that a set of stored objects stored in the memory or other data storage device have not been associated with a storage management object;
in response to detecting that the set of stored objects has not been associated with a storage management object,
infer, based at least in part on metadata associated with the set of stored objects stored in the memory or other data storage device, an interdependence among the stored objects comprising the set of stored objects;
associate the stored objects comprising the set of stored objects with the storage management object; and
apply a storage management policy to the stored objects comprising the set of stored objects based at least in part on said association of the stored objects comprising the set of stored objects with the storage management object.
