Abstract
The techniques disclosed herein provide a dynamically configurable cluster of storage devices. In some configurations, the dynamically configurable cluster is associated with a fault domain. The cluster may include a plurality of computing devices that each include at least a storage device. The plurality of storage devices in the cluster may be configured to support a plurality of workloads coupled to the dynamically configurable cluster. The plurality of storage devices in the dynamically configurable cluster may be allocated to one or more of the plurality of workloads based on metadata identified resiliency requirements, performance requirements, and/or cost factors linked to the one or more of the plurality of workloads.
