Cloud Storage Class-based Variable Cache Availability

Techniques are disclosed relating to managing distributed storage of data for various entities according to classifications for these entities. A database node of a distributed storage system may receive, from a first entity of a plurality of entities, a request to store a set of data. The database node may further obtain metadata associated with the first entity, wherein the metadata specifies one of a plurality of classifications for the entities. The database node may provide the set of data to one or more of a plurality of caches for storage. The caches may be located in two or more availability zones and are configured to store the set of data based on the classification for the first entity identified in the metadata associated with the first entity. The database node may also store the set of data in a shared object storage coupled to the database node.
