Abstract

Claims (37)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining information pertaining to one or more parameters for accessing one or more storage hosts over at least one network in connection with at least one software-defined storage deployment;

processing one or more requests by one or more client devices to access at least a portion of the one or more storage hosts;

registering, based at least in part on the processing of the one or more requests, at least one of the one or more storage hosts by persisting data pertaining to the at least one storage host in connection with at least a portion of the one or more parameters, wherein persisting data pertaining to the at least one storage host comprises updating, in at least one database, at least one of a row of data specific to the at least one storage host and a column of data specific to the at least one storage host; and

performing one or more automated actions related to at least one software-defined storage deployment based at least in part on the registration of the at least one storage host;

wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein registering the at least one storage host comprises implementing at least one finite-state machine containing multiple states of a given storage host registration process flow.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein performing the one or more automated actions comprises automating one or more software-defined storage deployments using the registration of the at least one storage host.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein processing the one or more requests comprises delivering at least one message, directed to interest in a given topic, and related to at least a portion of the one or more requests to at least one service.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:

monitoring for acknowledgement of the at least one delivered message by at least one subscriber associated with at least a portion of the one or more requests.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:

continuously performing delivery of the at least one message until receiving at least one receipt of acknowledgement from at least one subscriber associated with at least a portion of the one or more requests.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein processing the one or more requests comprises persisting information, derived from at least a portion of the one or more requests, pertaining to interest in one or more given topics for at least one of a defined subscriber and a defined group of subscribers.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more storage hosts each comprise one or more data storage devices utilized in connection with at least one software-defined storage deployment.

9. A non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code when executed by at least one processing device causes the at least one processing device:

to obtain information pertaining to one or more parameters for accessing one or more storage hosts over at least one network in connection with at least one software-defined storage deployment;

to process one or more requests by one or more client devices to access at least a portion of the one or more storage hosts;

to register, based at least in part on the processing of the one or more requests, at least one of the one or more storage hosts by persisting data pertaining to the at least one storage host in connection with at least a portion of the one or more parameters, wherein persisting data pertaining to the at least one storage host comprises updating, in at least one database, at least one of a row of data specific to the at least one storage host and a column of data specific to the at least one storage host; and

to perform one or more automated actions related to at least one software-defined storage deployment based at least in part on the registration of the at least one storage host.

10. The non-transitory processor-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein registering the at least one storage host comprises implementing at least one finite-state machine containing multiple states of a given storage host registration process flow.

11. The non-transitory processor-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein performing the one or more automated actions comprises automating one or more software-defined storage deployments using the registration of the at least one storage host.

12. The non-transitory processor-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein processing the one or more requests comprises delivering at least one message, directed to interest in a given topic, and related to at least a portion of the one or more requests to at least one service.

13. The non-transitory processor-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein processing the one or more requests comprises persisting information, derived from at least a portion of the one or more requests, pertaining to interest in one or more given topics for at least one of a defined subscriber and a defined group of subscribers.

14. The non-transitory processor-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the one or more storage hosts each comprise one or more data storage devices utilized in connection with at least one software-defined storage deployment.

15. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;

the at least one processing device being configured:

to obtain information pertaining to one or more parameters for accessing one or more storage hosts over at least one network in connection with at least one software-defined storage deployment;

to process one or more requests by one or more client devices to access at least a portion of the one or more storage hosts;

to register, based at least in part on the processing of the one or more requests, at least one of the one or more storage hosts by persisting data pertaining to the at least one storage host in connection with at least a portion of the one or more parameters, wherein persisting data pertaining to the at least one storage host comprises updating, in at least one database, at least one of a row of data specific to the at least one storage host and a column of data specific to the at least one storage host; and

to perform one or more automated actions related to at least one software-defined storage deployment based at least in part on the registration of the at least one storage host.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein registering the at least one storage host comprises implementing at least one finite-state machine containing multiple states of a given storage host registration process flow.

17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein performing the one or more automated actions comprises automating one or more software-defined storage deployments using the registration of the at least one storage host.

18. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein processing the one or more requests comprises delivering at least one message, directed to interest in a given topic, and related to at least a portion of the one or more requests to at least one service.

19. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein processing the one or more requests comprises persisting information, derived from at least a portion of the one or more requests, pertaining to interest in one or more given topics for at least one of a defined subscriber and a defined group of subscribers.

20. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the one or more storage hosts each comprise one or more data storage devices utilized in connection with at least one software-defined storage deployment.
