Description

This issue tracks investigating use of a local SSD as a "level 2" block cache. This could be beneficial in cloud deployments, when the persistent storage is bandwidth limited.

For example, with AWS a `gp3` volume has only 125MB/s free bandwidth. Some instances come with an NVME local SSD which will likely support on the order of GB/s bandwidth. A large block-cache on this SSD could reduce the reads that go to EBS (which would leave more bandwidth available for writes).
