Abstract
A data storage system includes multiple data storage units and a zonal control plane. The zonal control plane assigns volumes to respective ones of the data storage units. The data storage units include multiple head nodes and data storage sleds. At least one of the head nodes implements a local control plane for the data storage unit. Also, the head nodes of each data storage unit are configured to service read and write requests directed to one or more volumes serviced by the data storage unit independent of the zonal control plane.
