Cloud storage system

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for execution by a cloud storage system are provided. One example method is for storage processing on a cloud system. The method includes executing a storage application on a compute node of the cloud system, and the storage application is configured to process write commands and read commands to and from storage of the cloud system. The write commands and the read commands are from an application. The method includes processing, by the storage application, a write command from the application. The processing includes writing data blocks to memory cache provided by the compute node for the storage application; writing data blocks written to memory cache to a write cache of a block storage that is part of the storage of the cloud system; and writing select data blocks written to memory cache to a read cache of block storage that is part of storage of the cloud system. The method further includes coalescing, by the storage application, the data blocks to produce data segments and writing, by the storage application, the data segments to object storage that is part of storage of the cloud system. The methods also include management of a read path via the storage application.
