Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
a plurality of host machines;
a storage pool accessible to the plurality of host machines, the storage pool including storage devices of the plurality of host machines; and
a deployment system, the deployment system comprising:
a user interface configured to provide a deployment command; and
non-transitory computer readable media encoded with executable instructions which, when executed, cause the deployment system to perform actions comprising:
deploy, in response to the deployment command, at least one file server virtual machine (FSVM) on each host machine of the plurality of host machines, wherein FSVMs on the plurality of host machines form at least a portion of a virtualized file server (VFS), and wherein a first FSVM of the FSVMs has a network address;
said deploy action utilizes at least one of a respective amount of memory resources or a respective amount of compute resources of a first host machine for the first FSVM;
said deploy action includes perform a deployment operation having a deployment parameter including a number of the FSVMs;
create a file share from a storage capacity of the storage pool as a portion of a namespace implemented by the VFS, wherein the namespace is implemented across the storage pool, and wherein the file share includes a name and storage space quota of the storage capacity; and
associate the first FSVM with the file share.
