// name in the map means that the device is allocated. Value is irrelevant and

// "/dev/xvdba".

// see https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ebs-stuck-attaching/.
// DeviceAllocator finds available device name, taking into account already
// assigned device names from ExistingDevices map. It tries to find the next
// device name to the previously assigned one (from previous DeviceAllocator
// call), so all available device names are used eventually and it minimizes
// device name reuse.
// All these allocations are in-memory, nothing is written to / read from
// /dev directory.
