Reconfigurable microservice storage device system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a storage device chassis;
• a storage device processing system that is included in the storage device chassis;
• and
• a storage device memory system that is included in the storage device chassis, that is coupled to the storage device processing system, and that includes instructions that, when executed by the storage device processing system, cause the storage device processing system to:
• provide, using the storage device processing system, a storage device operating system that includes a storage device management microservice that manages a storage subsystem that is coupled to the storage device processing system and that is configured to store data;
• provide, using the storage device operating system, at least one compute microservice that performs at least one compute operation;
• receive a first reconfiguration instruction;
• and
• provide, in response to receiving the first reconfiguration instruction, the storage device operating system that includes the storage device management microservice, and that does not include the at least one compute microservice.

A method for configuring a storage device to provide microservices, comprising:

• configuring, by a computing device that is coupled to a plurality of storage devices, storage device compute hardware in each of a first subset of the plurality of storage devices to provide a respective first storage device operating system that includes a respective first storage device management microservice that manages the storage subsystem in that storage device;
• and
• configuring, by the computing device, the storage device compute hardware in each of a second subset of the plurality of storage devices to provide a respective second storage device operating system that includes:
• a respective second storage device management microservice that manages the storage subsystem in that storage device;
• and
• at least one respective second compute microservice that performs at least one second compute operation.
