1. A method for providing translations of data retrieved from a storage system in a cloud computing environment, the method comprising: receiving, by an interface object executing on a first physical computing device, from a second physical computing device, a request for provisioning of a virtual storage resource by a storage system; requesting, by the interface object, from a storage system interface object, provisioning of the virtual storage resource; receiving, by the interface object, from the storage system interface object, a first data item comprising an identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource expressed in a proprietary vendor-specific format; translating, by the interface object, the identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource from the proprietary vendor-specific format implemented by the storage system interface object into a standardized format by: accessing an interface translation file mapping each of a plurality of proprietary vendor-specific formats with the standardized format, the interface translation file stored in a format that records one or more vendor options labeled using one or more markup tags, at least one of the one or more vender options recorded in the translation file indicating one or more patterns for locating identification data in the proprietary vendor-specific format, using the interface translation file to identify data within the received first data item comprising the identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource by parsing the received first data item based on the one or more patterns, and generating a translation of the identification in the standardized format using the parsed identified data from within the received first data item; and responding, by the interface object, to the request received from the second physical computing device, with the translation of the identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource, the translation expressed in the standardized format.
