Abstract: An example method for prioritizing deployment of nodes in a cluster comprises: determining, at a first time and by a first node of a plurality of nodes in a cluster of a distributed storage system, that a second node having a higher priority than the first node is in a startup phase of the second node; determining, at a second time subsequent to the first time and by the first node, that the second node has completed the startup phase of the second node; and initiating, based on the determining that the second node has completed the startup phase and by the first node, a startup phase of the first node.

Abstract: An example method for automatic moving of application data across storage resources in a distributed storage system comprises providing, by a storage system, a first storage resource for use by an application on a container system, the first storage resource satisfying a first storage profile of a storage provision request; determining, by the storage system, a second storage profile that optimizes usage of data storage by the application; and providing, by the storage system and while the application is running on the container system, a second storage resource for use by the application, the second storage resource satisfying the second storage profile.

Abstract: An example method for dynamic determination of locks for prioritized deployment in a distributed storage system comprises providing, by a storage management system, N locks to a cluster of a distributed storage system, the cluster including a plurality of nodes and the N locks allowing N nodes of the plurality of nodes to each initiate a startup phase during a first time window, wherein N is a number greater than zero; tracking, by the storage management system, application programming interface (API) calls made by the N nodes to a platform of the cluster during the first time window; and providing, by the storage management system based on the tracking, M locks to the cluster, the M locks allowing M nodes of the plurality of nodes to each initiate a startup phase during a second time window subsequent to the first time window, wherein M is a number greater than zero.

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, input/output (I/O) operations to the volume based on historical I/O operations; and directing, by the container storage management system and based on the analyzing the I/O operations based on the historical I/O operations, the container system to adjust a capacity of a resource associated with the node.

Abstract: An example method for dynamically adjusting an I/O stack of a distributed storage system comprises determining, by a container storage management system, an excess of input/output (I/O) requests to a node of a container system; and adjusting, by the container storage management system and based on the determining the excess, a parameter associated with the node to reduce the excess of the I/O requests.
