Abstract
A storage cluster in a computing network can operate according to a service-level agreement (e.g., a set of performance conditions). The network can receive a request to register a new storage volume with the storage cluster. In response, the network may evaluate the current extent of replication of data in the storage cluster and how adding the new volume may affect the performance of the cluster to determine whether to register the new volume with the storage cluster.
