Load manager

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively coupled to the memory, the processing circuitry being configured to perform the operations of:
• executing a plurality of NAS facilities, each of the NAS facilities being implemented as a separate containerized application, each of the NAS facilities being executed inside a respective one of a plurality of master containers, each of the NAS facilities executing a different one of a plurality of file systems, each of the NAS facilities being configured to read and write data to one or more physical storage locations;
• detecting a user input selecting a load-balancing action;
• and
• executing the load-balancing action in response to the user input, wherein executing the load-balancing action includes at least one of:
• (i) relocating a given one of the plurality of NAS facilities from a first master container to a second master container, and (ii) changing an assignment of ports to the given one of the plurality of NAS facilities.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to perform the operations of:

• executing a plurality of NAS facilities, each of the NAS facilities being implemented as a separate containerized application, each of the NAS facilities being executed inside a respective one of a plurality of master containers, each of the NAS facilities executing a different one of a plurality of file systems, each of the NAS facilities being configured to read and write data to one or more physical storage locations;
• detecting a user input selecting a load-balancing action;
• and
• executing the load-balancing action in response to the user input, wherein executing the load-balancing action includes at least one of:
• (i) relocating a given one of the plurality of NAS facilities from a first master container to a second master container, and (ii) changing an assignment of ports to the given one of the plurality of NAS facilities.
