HTTP(s) Headers are key-value pairs that can be used by the client or server to pass additional information along with an HTTP(s) request or response. That was when I first got to witness the power of network headers. It was developed in 2004. Modifying network headers happens to be a very powerful tool in a testing environment.

eBPF was created by Alexei Starovoitov while at PLUMgrid (he's now at Facebook) as a generic in-kernel virtual machine, with software defined networks as the primary use case. in 2004, so I have to think back to that time to understand it. eBPF does more. eBPF is hard to use directly, so bcc was created as a Python front-end.

This query is performed by a Domain Name Server (DNS server) or servers nearby that have been assigned responsibility for that hostname. You can think of a DNS server as a phone book for the internet. A DNS server maintains a directory of domain names and translates them to IPs.

AWS has been an active member of the local technology community since 2004. That's where we built many pioneering networking technologies, our next-generation software for customer support, and the technology behind our compute service, Amazon EC2. What would have taken two weeks on local servers now only takes a few minutes.
