Abstract
An apparatus comprises at least one container host device implementing containers for respective tenants of a multi-tenant environment, a storage platform coupled to the container host device and implementing storage resources for utilization by the containers, and a container storage controller associated with the container host device. The container storage controller is configured to provision portions of the storage resources for respective ones of the containers including for each of the containers at least one virtual storage volume accessible only to that container and having an associated file system that is not visible to an operating system of the container host device. The provisioned portion of the storage resources for a given one of the containers of a corresponding one of the tenants is thereby isolated from the provisioned portions of the storage resources for respective other ones of the containers of corresponding other ones of the tenants.
