Abstract
Example implementations relate to a failure policy. For example, in an implementation, storage device status data is encoded into storage device states. An action is chosen based on the storage device state according to a failure policy, where the failure policy prescribes, based on a probabilistic model, whether for a particular storage device state a corresponding action is to take no action or to initiate a failure mitigation procedure on a storage device. The failure policy is rewarded according to a timeliness of choosing to initiate the failure mitigation procedure relative to a failure of the storage device.
