Path Management For Container Clusters That Access Persistent Storage

Abstract:

Path management for container clusters that access persistent storage, including: configuring a container cluster to issue input/output (`I/O`) operations to a storage system that provides persistent storage resources to the container cluster via a set of one or more data communications paths between the container cluster and the storage system; detecting a change to one or more data communications paths between the container cluster and the storage system; selecting, in dependence upon a path selection policy, an updated set of one or more data communications paths between the container cluster and the storage system to utilize for issuing I/O operations from the container cluster to the storage system; and issuing, from the container cluster to the storage system, I/O operations using the updated set of data communications paths.
