Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for providing cluster-aware (storage) resource provisioning in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) based upon policies, best practices, and/or storage cluster/environment configurations. In a typical embodiment, a set of characteristics (e.g., computing resources/components, etc.) of a storage environment will be determined. A set of requirements for a set of workloads to be processed by the components of the storage environment will then be identified. A set of policies and a set of best practices will then be determined to identify a configuration of the storage environment to optimize the processing of the set of workloads according to the set of requirements. Based on the configuration, a plan will be generated that indicates a data path through the set of computing resources that minimizes a potential for error in processing the set of workloads.
