SCALABALE CLOUD STORAGE SOLUTION

摘要

Some examples describe a scalable cloud storage solution. In an example, upon addition of a new compute node to a cloud system, compute capabilities of the new compute node may be determined. Based on compute capabilities of the new compute node, a virtual storage application may be installed on the new compute node to generate a VSA node, wherein the virtual storage application virtualizes direct-attached storage in the VSA node into a virtual shared storage that is shareable with virtual storage provided by the cloud system. The existing state of the cloud system may be analyzed. Based on the analysis, the VSA node may be deployed to an existing VSA node cluster in the cloud system or the VSA node may be used to create a new VSA node cluster in the cloud system.
