Does SoftNAS use the standard ZFS ZIL and L2ARC mechanisms for write/read acceleration (respectively)?

We leverage the local ephemeral SSD storage and RAM in the instances for the caching system. It’s a great part of our solution because we can enable any combination of compute, caching and attached storage based on the wide variety of the cloud offerings. We encourage customers to customize based on their needs. As new instances come out or improve, we immediately encourage customers to make the change! This is impossible to achieve with the conventional on-premise storage model.
