Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for automated resource selection for software-defined storage deployment are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a software-defined storage deployment request from a user, the request comprising an amount of total storage capacity and a minimum number of servers; generating an in-memory data structure of at least a portion of an inventory associated with the user, wherein the inventory comprises servers and disks associated with the servers, and wherein the data structure organizes the inventory based on disk size and disk count per server; calculating, using at least the data structure, total storage capacity for each of multiple combinations of disk sizes and disk counts across the servers; determining at least one of the combinations, based on the total storage calculations, that satisfies the request; and performing at least one automated action based on the combination(s) determined to satisfy the request.
