    Abstract: Providing volumes as a service, including: receiving a request to create a volume; determining whether a storage pool that includes one or more cloud-based storage systems includes sufficient resources for provisioning the volume; responsive to determining that the storage pool includes sufficient resources for provisioning the volume, create a volume that is supported by one or more of the cloud-based storage systems in the storage pool; and responsive to determining that the storage pool does not includes sufficient resources for provisioning the volume, expanding the resources that are included in the storage pool.

    Abstract: Staging data in a cloud-based storage system, including: receiving, at the cloud-based storage system integrating a first tier of cloud storage and a second tier of cloud storage, a data storage operation from a computer device; storing data corresponding to the data storage operation within the first tier of cloud storage in accordance with a first storage format; and responsive to detecting a condition for transferring data between the first tier of cloud storage and the second tier of cloud storage, transferring the data in the first storage format from the first tier of cloud storage to a second data format within the second tier of cloud storage.

    Abstract: Performing non-disruptive upgrades to a cloud-based storage system may include receiving a request to update one or more components of the cloud-based storage system, the request comprising an identification of an updated codified state of the cloud-based storage system; determining, based on the updated codified state and a current state of the cloud-based storage system, one or more transitional codified states; and updating the one or more components by applying the one or more transitional codified states.

    Abstract: Servicing I/O operations in a virtual storage system, including: receiving, by the virtual storage system, a request to write data to the virtual storage system; storing, within staging memory provided by one or more virtual drives of the virtual storage system, the data; and migrating, from the staging memory to more durable data storage provided by a cloud services provider, at least a portion of data stored within the staging memory.

    Abstract: A storage system for synchronously replicating a dataset across hardware-based storage systems and cloud-based storage systems, the storage system including specifying a set of managed objects, a set of management operations, and a set of access operations to correspond to the dataset, where management operations can modify or query managed objects equivalently through the hardware-based storage systems and the cloud-based storage systems; access operations to read or modify the dataset operate equivalently through the hardware-based storage systems and the cloud-based storage systems; each hardware-based storage system and each cloud-based storage system stores a separate copy of the dataset as a proper subset of the datasets stored and advertised for use; and operations to modify managed objects or the dataset performed and completed through the hardware-based storage systems and the cloud-based storage systems are reflected in subsequent management objects to query the dataset or subsequent access operations to read the dataset.
