Your question is Capacity Planning for Distributed Storage. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
How do you approach capacity planning for a distributed storage system experiencing exponential data growth?
Explain how you would forecast demand, determine when to provision capacity, and balance performance, durability, availability, and cost. Discuss the metrics, scaling model, operational safeguards, and failure scenarios you would use. Treat forecasting and anomaly detection as supporting ML components where appropriate, while keeping storage architecture and capacity decisions central.
