Abstract:
A method, device, and non-transitory computer readable medium that manages replacement in a distributed cache environment includes determining a cache value of a new item associated with one of a plurality of I/O cache resources. A cache value of a least valuable other item in the plurality of I/O cache resources is obtained. A determination is made when the cache value of the new item is greater than the cache value of the least valuable other item in the plurality of I/O cache resources. The least valuable other item is replaced with the new item when the determination indicates the cache value of the new item is greater than the cache value of the least valuable other item.
Abstract:
A method, a computing device, and a non-transitory machine-readable medium for booting a virtual machine. In response to a launch or initialization of a virtual machine, the virtual machine may attach a boot volume within a cloud-associated storage system. The boot volume contains a boot program. The boot program is loaded to the virtual machine from the boot volume. The virtual machine uses the boot program to acquire a boot configuration that includes a set of parameters and one or more commands for interfacing with a networked storage system and attaching a root volume within the networked storage system using a network-based storage interface protocol. The virtual machine boots its operating system from the root volume within the networked storage system.
