Replicating a primary application cache that serves a primary application on one network node into a secondary application cache that serves a secondary application on a second network node. Cache portions that are within the primary application cache are identified, and then identifiers (but not the cache portions) are transferred to the second network node. Once these identifiers are received, the cache portions that they identify may then be retrieved into the secondary application caches. This process may be repeatedly performed such that the secondary application cache moves towards the same state as the primary application cache though the state of the primary application cache also changes as the primary application operates by receiving read and write requests.

Application cache replication to secondary application(s)

Systems and methods that allow secure application-driven arbitrary compute in storage devices in a cloud-based computing system are provided. A computing system including a compute controller configured to: (1) provide access to host compute resources, and (2) operate in at least one of a first mode or a second mode is provided. The computing system may further include a storage controller configured to provide access to storage systems including storage components, at least one compute component, and at least one cryptographic component. In the first mode, the host compute resources may be configured to execute at least a first operation on at least a first set of data stored in at least one of the storage components. In the second mode, the at least one compute component may be configured to execute at least a second operation on at least a second set of data.

Application-driven storage systems for a computing system

Replicating a primary application cache within a secondary application cache

The automated recovery of the warmth of cache of an application that has been subject to a running state change that degraded the warmth of the cache. To prepare for a loss in warmth, the cache portion identifiers are captured, and corresponding cache portions are stored in an external store. Thereafter, the application experiences changes in state. In order to warm the application cache more quickly, cache portions identified by the captured cache portion identifiers are retrieved from the external data store and placed in the application cache.

Automatic recovery of application cache warmth

The automated recovery of the warmth of cache of an application that has been subject to a running state change that degraded the warmth of the cache. To prepare for a loss in warmth, the state of a cache portion identifiers are captured. Such identifies the cache portions that are within the application cache at an instant in time. Thereafter, the application experiences a change in running state that diminishes the warmth of the application cache. For instance, the application might be stopped and restarted. After and despite this cache degradation, the application may continue to operate. However, in order to warm the application cache more quickly, while the application is operating, the application cache is automatically warmed. For instance, while the application is operating, cache portions identified by the captured cache portion identifiers are automatically accessed from a source that is external to the application cache.
