Cache Volumes works by performing the following operations:

  • Write - Your file is processed locally and saved in the cache. If the file doesn't change within 3 seconds, Cache Volumes automatically uploads it to your chosen blob destination.
  • Read - If the file is already in the cache, the file is served from the cache memory. If it isn't available in the cache, the file is pulled from your chosen blob storage target.
