Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a request to create a storage volume;
identifying, based on the request and on a configuration file propagated among a plurality of storage nodes in a cluster, status indicators of the storage nodes, the status indicators indicating whether each of the storage nodes is available to implement additional storage volumes;
identifying, based on the request, a size of the storage volume;
identifying, based on the request, a replication factor representing a number of storage nodes that are to be replicated within a cluster for the storage volume;
identifying, based on one or more characteristics associated with the storage volume, a traffic priority for the storage volume, the traffic priority representing a hierarchy that determines and prioritizes which traffic is allocated to available hardware and network resources in a particular order; and
creating, based on the status indicators, the size, the replication factor, and the traffic priority, the storage volume on one or more of the plurality of storage nodes.
