Summary:Techniques are provided for providing a storage abstraction layer for a composite aggregate architecture. A storage abstraction layer is utilized as an indirection layer between a file system and a storage environment. The storage abstraction layer obtains characteristic of a plurality of storage providers that provide access to heterogeneous types of storage of the storage environment (e.g., solid state storage, high availability storage, object storage, hard disk drive storage, etc.). The storage abstraction layer generates storage bins to manage storage of each storage provider. The storage abstraction layer generates a storage aggregate from the heterogeneous types of storage as a single storage container. The storage aggregate is exposed to the file system as the single storage container that abstracts away from the file system the management and physical storage details of data of the storage aggregate.
