A computer-implemented method for optimizing input/output (I/O) operations per second (IOPS) of remote storage. The computer-implemented method includes receiving requests for read operations and write operations from users of an application, dynamically creating batches into which the requests can be aggregated, aggregating the requests into the batches and asynchronously passing each completed batch to the remote storage.

Optimizing input/output operations per section of remote persistent storage

A method and system for pre-attaching volumes onto a host. The method includes analyzing a plurality of hosts in a cloud environment. The method also includes identifying a least populated host based on the analyzation of the hosts. The least populated host is based on the attributes of the hosts. The method also includes identifying at least one popular volume in the cloud environment. The popular volume is a volume type most frequently used by the hosts in the cloud environment. Further, the method includes attaching the popular volume to the least populated host.

Cognitively managed storage volumes for container environments

Block volume mount synchronization is provided. A call is received to mount a block volume upon initiation of container generation on the host computer. Metadata of the block volume is checked for host lock prior to mounting the block volume on the host computer. The mounting of the block volume is allowed only when the metadata indicates that prior host lock does not exist thereby restricting usage of the block volume to a single user preventing data corruption of the block volume.
