    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling storage management tasks over predicted user tasks in a distributed storage system. A method commences upon receiving a set of historical stimulus records that characterize management tasks that are run in the storage system. A corresponding set of historical response records comprising system metrics associated with execution of the system tasks is also received. A learning model is formed from the stimulus records and the response records and formatted to be used as a predictor. A set of forecasted user tasks is input as new stimulus records to the predictor to determine a set of forecasted system metrics that would result from running the forecasted user tasks. Management tasks are selected so as not to impact the forecasted user tasks. Management tasks can be selected based on non-contentions resource usage between historical management task resource usage and predictions of resource usage by the user tasks.

    Abstract: A system and method for protecting entities of an availability zone include creating, by a policy engine associated with a virtual computing system, a protection policy definition for replicating a first set of entities of a first availability zone of the virtual computing system to a second availability zone of the virtual computing system. Each of the first set of entities is associated with a first common tag and the first set of entities are spread across first multiple clusters of the first availability zone. The system and method further include capturing, by the policy engine, a first plurality of snapshots of each of the first set of entities in the first availability zone in accordance with a first recovery point objective parameter and storing, by the policy engine, at least one copy of the first plurality of snapshots in the second availability zone.
