Abstract
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include defining multiple capabilities for a set of resources, the resources comprising storage space. A plurality of services are defined, each of the services including one or more of the capabilities for a subset of the resources, and a software defined storage (SDS) system is configured including the defined services. Upon the SDS system receiving a request to forecast an amount of the storage space including one or more of the capabilities that will be available at a specified future time, one or more of the services including the one or more capabilities are identified, and a predicted amount of the storage space for the identified one or more services is computed for specified future time. In some embodiments, a given identified given service includes one or more additional capabilities not required by the request.
