Claim 13:
14. A cloud-based storage system within a cloud computing environment, the cloud-based storage system including:
one or more computing devices comprising at least one processor and memory, and further comprising:
one or more storage controller applications;
a virtual drive layer including one or more cloud computing instances with each cloud computing instance having local storage;
a cloud-based storage layer including cloud-based object storage; and
a dynamic cloud configuration module stored in memory and executed on a cloud computing instance, configured to:
monitor, for a cloud-based storage system, one or more storage management operations performed by the cloud-based storage system including one or more of data reduction operations, wherein the cloud-based storage system comprises at least one storage controller instance, a virtual drive layer comprising at least one cloud computing instance having local storage, and a cloud-based storage layer having durable cloud-based storage, wherein the one or more storage management operations are different from storage I/O operations that include one or more of data read operations or data write operations; and
modify, based at least upon access patterns associated with storage I/O operations and the one or more storage management operations, one or more performance specifications of one or more existing cloud computing instances for the cloud-based storage system including modifying one or more cloud computing instances that are configured as storage controllers.
