Abstract

Claims (42)

1 . A method comprising:

detecting a change in usage outside of an expected range of usage of a volume in a storage pool that includes one or more cloud-based storage systems, the one or more cloud-based storage systems including a number of virtual drives for servicing the volume; and

based on the detection of the change in usage outside of the expected range of usage and a determination how to scale the storage pool, scaling the number of virtual drives that are included in the storage pool for servicing the volume.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a request to create the volume is received, from a first virtual private cloud, via an interface that is supported by a second virtual private cloud.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising dynamically scaling one or more virtual drives based on the usage of the volume.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising moving the volume from a first cloud-based storage system to a second cloud-based storage system based on the usage of the volume.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

instantiating one or more new cloud-based storage systems; and

adding the one or more new cloud-based storage systems to the storage pool.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising reconfiguring one or more of the cloud-based storage systems that are included in the storage pool.

7 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

identifying, based on an application identifier, an application-specific template for provisioning the volume;

determining a first quantity of resources that are expected to be consumed by the volume based on the identified application-specific template;

comparing the first quantity of resources to a second quantity of resources that are available in the storage pool; and

based on the comparison, determining that the storage pool includes a sufficient quantity of resources to provision the volume.

8 . A system comprising:

a memory; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, configured to:

detect a change in usage outside of an expected range of usage of a volume in a storage pool that includes one or more cloud-based storage systems, the one or more cloud-based storage systems including a number of virtual drives for servicing the volume; and

based on the detection of the change in usage outside of the expected range of usage and a determination how to scale the storage pool, scale the number of virtual drives that are included in the storage pool for servicing the volume.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein a request to create the volume is received, from a first virtual private cloud, via an interface that is supported by a second virtual private cloud.

10 . The system of claim 8 , the processing device is further configured to dynamically scale one or more virtual drives based on the usage of the volume.

11 . The system of claim 8 , the processing device is further configured to move the volume from a first cloud-based storage system to a second cloud-based storage system based on the usage of the volume.

12 . The system of claim 8 , the processing device is further configured to:

instantiate one or more new cloud-based storage systems; and

add the one or more new cloud-based storage systems to the storage pool.

13 . The system of claim 8 , the processing device is further configured to reconfigure one or more of the cloud-based storage systems that are included in the storage pool.

14 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to:

detect a change in usage outside of an expected range of usage of a volume in a storage pool that includes one or more cloud-based storage systems, the one or more cloud-based storage systems including a number of virtual drives for servicing the volume; and

based on the detection of the change in usage outside of the expected range of usage and a determination how to scale the storage pool, scale the number of virtual drives that are included in the storage pool for servicing the volume.

15 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein a request to create the volume is received, from a first virtual private cloud, via an interface that is supported by a second virtual private cloud.

16 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 further comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, dynamically scale one or more virtual drives based on the usage of the volume.

17 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 further comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, move the volume from a first cloud-based storage system to a second cloud-based storage system based on the usage of the volume.

18 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising computer program instructions that, when executed:

instantiate one or more new cloud-based storage systems; and

add the one or more new cloud-based storage systems to the storage pool.

19 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, reconfigure one or more of the cloud-based storage systems that are included in the storage pool.

20 . The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the request includes an application identifier, further comprising computer program instructions that, when executed:

identify, based on an application identifier, an application-specific template for provisioning the volume;

determine a first quantity of resources that are expected to be consumed by the volume based on the identified application-specific template;

compare the first quantity of resources to a second quantity of resources that are available in the storage pool; and

based on the comparison, determine that the storage pool includes a sufficient quantity of resources to provision the volume.
