Abstract
Embodiments relate to a computer system, computer program product, and method to support context aware container volume management. Two or more containers are operatively coupled to a shared operating system instance. Workflow and system topologies directed at the containers are modeled. The workflow models transition states of containers. The container topology model identifies relationships between two more containers. The storage topology model identifies a relationship and dependency of storage volumes. The models are leveraged to assess and autonomously determine functional container storage requirements. Assignment(s) of an application container to a volume is optimized and selectively attached responsive to the autonomous determination.
