Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed for collecting, maintaining, and retrieving use and limit data for connected resources, as well as determining an optimal location for creating a new volume (or volumes) on a storage platform and placing the volume at the determined location. A resource tracker collects resource use and/or limits data and stores it in a database. A volume placement service receives a volume deployment specification having constraints for creating a new volume. The volume placement service retrieves the data from the database. The volume placement service identifies an optimal location for the volume based at least in part on given constraints from the specification and the resource usage data. The system places the requested volume at the determined location.
