Abstract: Provided is a method for provisioning an application container volume (storage) in a cloud platform. The method takes provision requests and desired allocation capacity from users and provisions storage for an application container differently based on a determination of whether a cloud platform system generates a volume statically or dynamically, and based on a determination of whether the available space of storage space is sufficient or not to cover the desired allocation capacity. The method also notifies users about insufficient storage space to cover desired allocation capacity, and allows users to adjust desired allocation capacity to allow the provisioning proceed.
