Abstract
A system partitions a graph representation of relationships between block devices and associated snapshots into a plurality of cells to more evenly distribute computing resource usage attributable to the block devices and snapshots. The relationships may be analyzed to determine resource usage associated with the block devices and/or the snapshots wherein the resource usage corresponds to a mutation operation rate or number of mutation operations performed (or scheduled for performance). As a result of determining that the resource usage for a given cell exceeds a predetermined threshold for resource usage, the cell may be partitioned into a plurality of cells, and a portion of the corresponding block device(s), and subsequent snapshot(s) generated therefrom, may be assigned to the new cell.
