Abstract
In a cloud computing environment, a storage space management system provides for uniform collection of usage statistics for storage disks and storage consumers, including usage statistics for a consumers' storage buckets, where a storage bucket represents a logical container of files, objects or other types of stored data for a given consumer. The system enables automated evaluation of space usage policy against the collected statistics. The system enforces the evaluated policy determinations, including queueing jobs that manage storage disk eligibility for storing data and jobs that direct traffic from storage consumers to storage disks that have sufficient storage available.
