Abstract: Health and usage data are monitored for storage devices of a remote computing environment that is remote from a computing service provider. The remote computing environment comprises a subset of computing systems of a computing service provider that manages the remote computing environment. Based on the monitored health data, it is determined that one of the storage devices has failed. In response, it is determined whether a computing device of the remote computing environment that is associated with the failed storage device should be marked unhealthy or continue to operate at a reduced capacity. When it is determined that the computing device associated with the failed storage device should continue to operate at a reduced capacity, the computing device is reprovisioned with available storage devices and the computing device is operated at the reduced capacity.
