Skyplane: Optimizing Transfer Cost and Throughput Using Cloud-Aware Overlays
Authors: Paras Jain, Sam Kumar, Sarah Wooders, Shishir G. Patil, Joseph E. Gonzalez, and Ion Stoica, University of California, Berkeley Abstract: Cloud applications are increasingly distributing data across multiple regions and cloud providers. Unfortunately, widearea bulk data transfers are often slow, bottlenecking applications. We demonstrate that it is possible to significantly improve inter-region cloud bulk transfer throughput by adapting network overlays to the cloud setting—that is, by routing data through indirect paths at the application layer....
