Abstract: An example method for adjusting IO profiles in a distributed storage system comprises: determining, by a storage system that provides a volume as persistent storage for a container application running in a container system, a characteristic of the container application; and adjusting, by the storage system and based on the characteristic of the container application, an input/output (IO) profile of the volume.

Abstract: An illustrative method includes a controller associated with a plurality of clusters receiving, from a user, a disaster recovery policy of a containerized application deployed on a first cluster in the plurality of clusters, determining a cluster profile of each second cluster among one or more second clusters that are distinct from the first cluster in the plurality of clusters, identifying, from the one or more second clusters, a particular cluster based on the disaster recovery policy of the containerized application and the cluster profile of each second cluster, and assigning the particular cluster to be a disaster recovery cluster for the containerized application.
