More organizations than ever are undertaking cloud migration as digital transformation continues to gain momentum across every industry in every region. But what does it take to migrate your existing applications to the cloud? What is cloud migration? However, it can also mean migrating from one cloud to another.

Many organizations today rely on cloud-native applications for their scalability and agility, among other benefits. However, not all cloud strategies are the same. Unlike a traditional IT model, however, cloud providers own and manage these resources. Reduced latency. Some organizations prefer a serverless approach.

When AWS launched, it changed how developers thought about IT services: What used to take weeks or months of purchasing and provisioning turned into minutes with Amazon EC2. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda. You can go from code to service in three clicks and then let AWS Lambda take care of the rest.

Using simple lookup indices in Cassandra gives us the ability to maintain acceptable read latencies while doing heavy writes.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room; Serverless doesn't really mean that there are no Software or Hardware servers. It just means that from Software Development perspective, servers are abstracted and outsourced to another entity, so you don't need to worry about it. Serverless can be achieved on Clouds.

The environments, which were previously isolated, are now working seamlessly under central control.

For applications like communication between AVs, latency–how long it takes to get a response–is more likely to be a bigger limitation than raw bandwidth, and is subject to limits imposed by physics. There are impressive estimates for latency for 5G, but reality has a tendency to be harsh on such predictions.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. Software-based clocksources could fix those issues and provide accurate monotonically-increasing time.
