The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Given that AWS is a pioneer in building and operating these services world-wide, these lessons have been of crucial importance to our business.

That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. How will AI adopters react when the cost of renting infrastructure from AWS, Microsoft, or Google rises? They will simply be part of the environment in which software developers work. from the healthcare industry, and 3.7%

It was – like the hypothetical movie I describe above – more than a little bit odd, as you could leave a session discussing ever more abstract layers of virtualization and walk into one where they emphasized the critical importance of pinning a network interface to a specific VM for optimal performance.

A classic example is TCP , which delivers reliable communications over notoriously- and deliberately-unreliable IP which can drop and reorder packets as network nodes and communications paths keep madly appearing and reappearing like a herd of crazed Cheshire cats. — The free lunch is over.
