Abstract
Techniques are provided for provisioning zoned storage devices to sequential workloads. One method comprises obtaining a sequentiality classification of at least one workload of an application associated with a storage system comprising a plurality of zoned storage devices; and provisioning at least one of the zoned storage devices for storing the data of the at least one workload in response to the at least one workload being classified as a sequential workload. A sequentiality classification of a workload (e.g., as a sequential workload or a random workload) can be determined by: (i) evaluating the application name and/or application type of an application, (ii) learning input-output workload patterns, such as sequential read/write operations or random read/write operations, and/or (iii) detecting the application access mode to persistent volumes, such as a sequential write access mode.
