I'm thrilled to be joining Intel to work on the performance of everything, apps to metal, with a focus on cloud computing. My dream is to turn computer performance analysis into a science, one where we can completely understand the performance of everything: of applications, libraries, kernels, hypervisors, firmware, and hardware.

As dynamic systems architectures increase in complexity and scale, IT teams face mounting pressure to track and respond to conditions and issues across their multi-cloud environments. Observability relies on telemetry derived from instrumentation that comes from the endpoints and services in your multi-cloud computing environments.

We used this model effectively at Netflix when I was their cloud architect from 2010 through 2013. The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? Amazon Aurora is a proprietary, cloud-native, fully managed relational database service developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Firecracker is the virtual machine monitor (VMM) that powers AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate, and has been used in production at AWS since 2018. The first version of AWS Lambda was built using Linux containers. All of the existing approaches we just examined involve trade-offs that AWS didn’t want to make.

16% of respondents working with AI are using open source models. Even with cloud-based foundation models like GPT-4, which eliminate the need to develop your own model or provide your own infrastructure, fine-tuning a model for any particular use case is still a major undertaking.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error.
