Abstract
Clustered containerized applications are implemented with scalable provisioning. Methods include receiving a data storage request to store one or more data values in a storage volume implemented across a storage node cluster, the storage node cluster including a plurality of storage nodes including one or more storage devices having storage space allocated for storing data associated with the storage volume. Methods may further include identifying a cluster hierarchy associated with the storage node cluster, the cluster hierarchy identifying storage characteristics of the plurality of storage nodes, the cluster hierarchy also identifying physical location information for the plurality of storage nodes, the physical location information indicating node-to-node proximity on a network graph. Methods may also include selecting a storage node on which to store the data, the selecting being based, at least in part, on the identified storage characteristics and one or more data distribution parameters associated with the storage volume.
