Techniques for dynamically allocating resources in a storage cluster system

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

• receive quality of service data comprising a parameter defined for satisfying a storage requirement of an application;
• associate the quality of service data with a volume;
• and
• provide the application with data access to the volume based upon the quality of service data, wherein the parameter is applied to a data access command from the application for accessing the volume.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions for performing a method;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the processor to:
• receive quality of service data comprising a parameter defined for satisfying a storage requirement of an application;
• associate the quality of service data with a volume;
• and
• provide the application with data access to the volume based upon the quality of service data, wherein the parameter is applied to a data access command from the application for accessing the volume.
