Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to receive, from one of two or more storage nodes of a software-defined storage system comprising a write cache and persistent storage, a request to read a given portion of data. One or more portions of data in the persistent storage are also stored as read-only data in local storage of virtual computing instances implementing the storage nodes. The processing device is configured to read the given portion of data from the local storage of the virtual computing instances responsive to determining that the given portion of data is part of the read-only data in the local storage of the virtual computing instances, and to read the given portion of data from the write cache or persistent storage responsive to determining that the given portion of data is not part of the read-only data in the local storage of the virtual computing instances.
