This task encompasses analysis and design discussions needed to define requirements (i.e. user stories) for the cluster storage. Output from this task will be a Confluence page defining requirements and a set of JIRA tickets/user stories reflecting the development tasks required to implement the storage cluster and integrate with the NDS Labs workbench.

A Confluence page has been started:
https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence/display/NDS/Workbench+storage

Questions we might consider:

• What storage solution will we use?
• What are the requirements/use cases driving the configuration and integration with the workbench?
• How do we enforce storage quotas?
• How do we mount volumes on Pods?
• What are the artifacts of development (ansible playbooks, storage API/server, changes to NDS Labs to support the new volume architecture, etc)
• How will it be configured for the workbench – one big volume, one volume per project, one volume per Pod?
