Provisioning of clustered containerized applications

A system comprising:

• a network interface configured to receive a data storage request associated with a containerized software application to store one or more data values in a storage volume implemented across a storage node cluster, the storage node cluster including a plurality of storage nodes, each storage node including one or more storage devices having storage space allocated for storing data associated with the storage volume;
• a processor configured to:
• identify a cluster hierarchy associated with the storage node cluster, the cluster hierarchy identifying storage characteristics of the plurality of storage nodes, the cluster hierarchy also identifying physical location information for the plurality of storage nodes, the physical location information indicating node-to-node proximity on a network graph, wherein the cluster hierarchy is based on data characterizing capabilities of the nodes, including total capacity, free capacity, drive type, and drive speed, wherein the data characterizing capabilities are determined based on data included in a configuration file which are propagated among nodes in the storage node cluster;
• select a storage node on which to store the data, the selecting being based, at least in part, on the identified storage characteristics and one or more data distribution parameters associated with the storage volume;
• transmit the one or more data values to the selected storage node;
• and a designated storage device configured to store data included in the data storage request.

One or more non-transitory computer readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, performs a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a data storage request associated with a containerized software application to store one or more data values in a storage volume implemented across a storage node cluster, the storage node cluster including a plurality of storage nodes, each storage node including one or more storage devices having storage space allocated for storing data associated with the storage volume;
• identifying a cluster hierarchy associated with the storage node cluster, the cluster hierarchy identifying storage characteristics of the plurality of storage nodes, the cluster hierarchy also identifying physical location information for the plurality of storage nodes, the physical location information indicating node-to-node proximity on a network graph, wherein the cluster hierarchy is based on data characterizing capabilities of the nodes, including total capacity, free capacity, drive type, and drive speed, wherein the data characterizing capabilities are determined based on data included in a configuration file which are propagated among nodes in the storage node cluster;
• selecting a storage node on which to store the data, the selecting being based, at least in part, on the identified storage characteristics and one or more data distribution parameters associated with the storage volume;
• and
• transmitting the one or more data values to the selected storage node.
