Autoscaling Tiered Cloud Storage in Anna

Summary: Extends Anna into an autoscaling, multi-tier cloud KVS via multi-master selective replication, vertically differentiated storage, and horizontally elastic tiers. A policy engine jointly optimizes cost, latency, and fault tolerance, achieving orders-of-magnitude efficiency gains. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
