AWS EC2 Virtualization 2017: Introducing Nitro

Brendan Gregg

It's amazing to recall that it was even possible to virtualize x86 before processors had hardware-assisted virtualization (Intel VT-x and AMD-V), which were added in 2005 and 2006. But not all workloads: some are network bound (proxies) and storage bound (databases). ## 5. . --> Remember the original VMware x86 hypervisor from 1998?
