Abstract:
A new snapshot of a storage volume is created by suppressing write requests. Once pending write requests from the computing nodes are completed, storage nodes create a new snapshot for the storage volume by allocating a new segment to the new snapshot. Subsequent write requests to the storage volume are then performed on the segments allocated to the new snapshot. An orchestration layer implements a bundled application that is provisioned with storage volumes and containers. A snapshot of the application may be created and used to rollback or clone the application. The amount of processing cores, memory, and containers may be increased or decreased based on usage. Amount of storage allocated to a storage volume may be augmented by a snapshot reservation ratio. The snapshot reservation ratio is adjusted over time according to usage.
