On the Cloudburst design teams’ wish list: A running function’s ‘hot’ data should be kept physically nearby for low-latency access. The canononical cloud platform architecture decouples storage and compute services so that each can be scaled and operated independently, i.e., they are disaggregated. Consistency.
