Interesting high level look at consistency, concurrency and availability models. Quite a decent explanation of the same, useful as a "cheat sheet", so to say, when studying such things. After all, the map at the top, once the concepts are understood, should be enough to act as a guide in analyzing a system of your own, be it a student, such as myself, or someone who needs a quick refresher.
To anyone who also thought that the article ended prematurely: you can click each consistency model in the graph that appears in the beginning of the article. At least on mobile, that was not obvious to me.
