Abstract

An example method for automated elastic resource management of a container system by a storage system comprises providing, by a container storage management system, a volume for use by a containerized application of a container system, the volume deployed on a node of the container system; analyzing, by the container storage management system, incoming input/output (I/O) operations to the volume; and adjusting, by the container storage management system and based on the analyzing, a capacity of a resource associated with the node.

Claims (31)

1 . A method comprising:

providing, by a container storage management system, a volume for use by a containerized application of a container system, the volume deployed on a node of the container system;

analyzing, by the container storage management system, incoming input/output (I/O) operations to the volume; and

adjusting, by the container storage management system and based on the analyzing, a capacity of a resource associated with the node.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource comprises deploying an additional volume on the node.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises bandwidth for additional I/O operations to the volume.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource comprises at least one of a storage resource or a compute resource associated with the node.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the capacity of the resource comprises deploying an additional node for the container system.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource is further based on a characteristic of a storage resource associated with the volume.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource is further based on a cost of the resource.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a component of the container storage management system is deployed on the node.

9 . A container storage management system comprising:

one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and

one or more processors to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

provide a volume for use by a containerized application of a container system, the volume deployed on a node of the container system;

analyze incoming input/output (I/O) operations to the volume; and

adjust, based on the analyzing, a capacity of a resource associated with the node.

10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource comprises deploying an additional volume on the node.

11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the resource comprises bandwidth for additional I/O operations to the volume.

12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the resource comprises at least one of storage or compute resources associated with the node.

13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein adjusting the capacity of the resource comprises deploying an additional node on the container system.

14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource is further based on a characteristic of a storage resource associated with the volume.

15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource is further based on a cost of the resource.

16 . The system of claim 9 , wherein at least a component of the system is deployed on the node.

17 . A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer instructions that, when executed, direct one or more processors of one or more computing devices to:

provide a volume for use by a containerized application of a container system, the volume deployed on a node of the container system;

analyze incoming input/output (I/O) operations to the volume; and

adjust, based on the analyzing, a capacity of a resource associated with the node.

18 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource comprises deploying an additional volume on the node.

19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the adjusting the capacity of the resource is further based on a characteristic of a storage resource associated with the volume.

20 . The computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein at least a component of the one or more processors is deployed on the node.
