Abstract
A system and method for provisioning a volume and repartitioning a provisioned volume based at least in part on a workload. A request to provision a volume of a specified size is received, a first set of partition options is determined based at least in part on the specified size, and second set of partition options is determined based at least in part on one or more performance characteristics. A volume partitioning is determined based at least in part on an intersection of a number of partitions between the first set of partition options and the second set of partition options, and further based at least in part on a set of optimization criteria. Based at least in part on tracked usage of the volume or a repartition request, a determination is made to repartition the volume such that the partitioning scheme fulfills a set of optimization criteria.
