Enable cachefilesd on RenderQueue

[ddneilson]

Linux provides FS-Cache ( https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/caching/fscache.txt ) as a mechanism for transparently caching network file accesses. Filesystem driver that support it can interface with this subsystem via cachefilesd. Using this can reduce network traffic to networked filesystems when the majority of operations are read-ops -- as is the case with the RenderQueue.

Use Case

Nominally, when using Amazon EFS configured for bursting throughput as the backing filesystem for the Deadline Remote Connection Server. Reducing the read traffic to the filesystem reduces the total reads to the filesystem, which reduces the throughput that must be indirectly provisioned, by adding data to the filesystem, to reduce burst credit consumption rate.

Proposed Solution

Option on the RenderQueue (off by default) that will install & start the cachefilesd service on the ECS container host.
