Abstract
In a provider network, attributes of one of a plurality of storage devices of the provider network are identified for failure monitoring. Based on a failure prediction model, a predicted probability of failure of the selected storage device is determined. The failure prediction model is based on historical and current data associated with failures of the storage devices of the provider network that have common attributes. The selected storage device is deactivated in response to determining that the predicted probability of failure of the selected storage device meets a criterion.
