Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to provisioning fault domain sets (FDS). In some embodiments, a computer server system implements an FDS for disseminating a storage service across a plurality of fault domains. To implement the FDS, in some embodiments, the computer server system access FDS data specifying a desired state of the FDS in which the storage service is disseminated across at least a particular number of fault domains. The computer server system may determine available resources of the plurality of fault domains and determine a current state of the FDS based on fault domains that have already been provisioned to the FDS. Based on at least the desired state of the FDS, the current state of the FDS, and the available resources, the computer server system provisions one or more additional fault domains to the FDS to reconcile the FDS's current state with the FDS's desired state.
