Abstract
Systems and methods for managing data storage using a distributed file system are provided. In one example, a file system instance is deployed virtually in a node of a distributed storage system. The file system instance has a dynamic configuration including a set of services corresponding to a cluster management subsystem and a storage management subsystem. The storage management subsystem operates independently of a data management subsystem of the distributed storage system as a result of disaggregation from the data management subsystem. The data management subsystem performs storage and block management functions based on requests received from an application layer. An additional service corresponding to either the data management subsystem or the storage management subsystem is deployed virtually to meet the demand for the additional service in response to determining the presence of a demand for the additional service and availability a set of resources corresponding to the additional service.
