Congrats on the launch! Could you clarify perhaps what Archil volumes actually are from a technical perspective? Like, is it EC2 instances with locally attached storage, your own bare metal machines in a CoLo space, something in between? It's not quite clear to me after reading the announcement.
Thanks! Under the hood, when you mount an Archil volume, you connect to a fleet of instances that we're managing with SSD drives attached, which cache reads+writes before hitting the underlying data in your S3 bucket.
