Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;
receiving a first request associated with a cloud storage;
responsive to receiving the first request, determining resource availability of a plurality of nodes to accommodate the first request;
creating, based on the resource availability, a new storage implementation; and
receiving information comprising the status of the new storage implementation.
