Locally providing cloud storage array services for a plurality of storage systems within a data center by: receiving a request for storage resources from an operating system level virtualization service; determining, among the plurality of storage systems; an implementation of the request from the operating system level virtualization service; and providing storage resources to the operating system level virtualization service in accordance with the implementation of the request from the operating system level virtualization service.

Performance-driven storage provisioning

Path management for container clusters that access persistent storage, including: configuring a container cluster to issue input/output ('I/O') operations to a storage system that provides persistent storage resources to the container cluster via a set of one or more data communications paths between the container cluster and the storage system; detecting a change to one or more data communications paths between the container cluster and the storage system; selecting, in dependence upon a path selection policy, an updated set of one or more data communications paths between the container cluster and the storage system to utilize for issuing I/O operations from the container cluster to the storage system; and issuing, from the container cluster to the storage system, I/O operations using the updated set of data communications paths.

Path management for container clusters that access persistent storage

An illustrative method includes receiving, by an integrated storage manager from an operating system level virtualization service, a request to perform an operation with respect to one or more storage systems; determining, by the integrated storage manager, multiple versions of a performance impact among the one or more storage systems based on potentially implementing the request in multiple ways; and implementing, by the integrated storage manager based on the determining of the multiple versions of the performance impact, the request in a particular way that improves one or more storage system metrics of the one or more storage systems.

Storage system metric optimization for container orchestrators

Providing storage resources from a storage pool

Policy based path management, including: identifying a plurality of data communications paths between a storage system and an entity that issues input/output ('I/O') operations to the storage system; selecting, in dependence upon a path selection policy, a subset of data communications paths from the plurality of data communications paths between the entity and the storage system; and issuing, from the entity to the storage system, I/O operations using only the subset of data communications paths.

Updating path selection as paths between a computing device and a storage system change

Locally providing cloud storage array services for a plurality of storage systems within a data center by receiving a request from an operating system level virtualization service; and determining, among the plurality of storage systems, an implementation of the request from the operating system level virtualization service, among the plurality of storage systems.

Locally providing cloud storage services for fleet management

Policy based path management

A integrated storage manager that includes: receiving, at an integrated storage manager from one or more storage systems from among a plurality of storage systems, one or more storage system metrics; receiving a management request from an operating system level virtualization service; and determining, based at least upon the one or more storage system metrics for the one or more storage systems, an implementation of the management request that is modified to improve one or more metrics corresponding to the one or more storage system metrics.
