Abstract
A computer implemented method, a computer program product, and a system for automated virtual storage pools within a software-defined storage comprising: receiving a set of physical storage resources that is enabled to have different storage capabilities; receiving a set of applications, wherein each application of the set of applications is enabled to require different storage capabilities; finding most frequently preferred storage capabilities requirements from capabilities of the set of applications; identifying a number of virtual storage pools based on the set of applications; and clustering at least some of the set of physical storage resources into the number of identified virtual storage pools.
