HYPER-CONVERGENCE WITH SCHEDULER EXTENSIONS FOR SOFTWARE-DEFINED CONTAINER STORAGE SOLUTIONS

An illustrative computing system may include a master node that includes a prioritization module. The master node may be in communication with each of a plurality of containerized application nodes. The prioritization module may be configured to determine node prioritization information indicating a relative prioritization of the containerized application nodes for instantiating a designated containerized application, wherein the determining node prioritization information includes assigning a priority score to a candidate containerized application node, wherein higher priority is given based on a number of volumes stored on the candidate containerized application node that is designated for access by the designated containerized application.
