Ceph's OSD support different flags for Read Operation like default, local and balanced. "Local Read" feature enables faster data retrieval by allowing clients to read data directly from local OSD, reducing latency and improving performance. When enabled, RGW directs read requests to the most suitable local OSD, with help of crush location set by the user. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring fast data access, such as content delivery networks (CDNs), big data analytics, and AI/ML workloads. This can be easily configured for Stretch clusters , Kubernetes cluster etc.
