Autoscaling Tiered Cloud Storage in Anna

Summary: Extends Anna into an autoscaling, multi-tier cloud KV store to beat cost–performance limits. Three innovations: multi-master selective replication of hot keys, vertical tiering, and elastic tiers with a policy engine balancing cost, latency, and fault tolerance; experiments show large efficiency gains.
