  • Persistent storage for server clusters
    Patent number: 11552844
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to provision a set of storage volumes for a server cluster, wherein the request includes an identifier for the server cluster and generating a provisioning work ticket for each storage volume in the set of storage volumes, each provisioning work ticket including the identifier for the server cluster. The provisioning work tickets are provided to a message broker. Multiple volume provisioning instances are executed such that at least two of the volume provisioning instances operate in parallel with each other and such that each volume provisioning instance receives a respective provisioning work ticket from the message broker and attempts to provision a respective storage volume of the set of storage volumes for the server cluster in response to receiving the volume provisioning work ticket.
