Abstract
A technique provides efficient management of policies for objects of a distributed storage architecture configured to service storage requests issued by one or more clients of a storage cluster. The objects may include volumes for storing data served by storage nodes of the cluster and the policies may include quality of service (QoS) policies. The technique enables dynamic grouping of the volumes as management domains and applying attributes, such as performance settings of the QoS policies, to the management domains. A group of volumes may be organized as a management domain and a QoS policy may be applied to the domain. If membership of the management domain is modified, the QoS policy is automatically applied to the added volume or stripped from the removed volume. If a performance setting of the policy is modified, the modification is atomically applied and propagated to each volume of the management domain.
