Abstract
An apparatus comprises a first processing device, the first processing device comprising a physical hardware controller configured for coupling with a second processing device. The first processing device is configured to identify remote storage service instances attached to the second processing device, and to initiate storage emulation modules for the remote storage service instances attached to the second processing device, the storage emulation modules emulating physical storage devices configured for attachment to the second processing device. The first processing device is also configured to provision the remote storage service instances to the second processing device by utilizing the physical hardware controller (i) to dynamically select at least one remote storage service instance to utilize for processing input/output requests directed to storage volumes of the emulated physical storage devices and (ii) to provide results of processing the input/output requests to the second processing device via the emulated physical storage devices.
