This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. The video is on [youtube]: The slides are on [slideshare] or as a [PDF]: I work on many areas of performance, but recently I've had a lot of demand to talk about BPF.

This blog is in reference to our previous ones for ‘Innodb Performance Optimizations Basics’ 2007 and 2013. Although there have been many blogs about adjusting MySQL variables for better performance since then, I think this topic deserves a blog update since the last update was a decade ago, and MySQL 5.7

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

We plan to support customer-managed hardware security modules (HSM) by further encrypting the cluster key, using Amazon CloudHSM or an on-premise HSM environment. All Things Distributed.
