Hey, I'm Hunter -- the founder of Archil. I'll be around in the comments to answer any questions that people have about the platform, or how things have changed since the Fall.

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.
