Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 5:
6. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution by one or more processors cause a computer system to:
store volumes associated with a customer in a block storage service of a multi-tenant environment;
in a monitoring service within the multi-tenant environment, use customer rules provided by the customer to establish a first threshold to monitor the stored volumes;
use the customer rules to generate a second threshold within the block storage service, the second threshold being different than the first threshold and wherein the second threshold is generated by the block storage service by transforming the customer rules and the first threshold into the second threshold, which is derived from the first threshold to ensure that the second threshold is triggered prior to the first threshold;
monitor a frequency of requests related to the stored volumes over a predetermined period of time to establish a typical frequency of requests; and
by the block storage service, modify performance characteristics of the stored volumes by changing resources associated with the stored volumes in response to metrics of the stored volumes exceeding the second threshold and the frequency of the requests exceeding the typical frequency of requests by a threshold amount, wherein the modification of the performance characteristics includes physically re-locating at least one of the stored volumes.
