Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been working closely with the startup community in London, and Europe, since we launched back in 2006. Bring your questions about AWS architecture, cost optimisation, services and features, or anything else AWS related. You can also drop in if you don’t have an appointment.

But every year when March 14th comes around, it's a good reminder that Amazon S3 originally launched on Pi Day, March 14, 2006. A concept that has changed infrastructure architecture is now at the core of both AWS and customer reliability and operations. The Amazon S3 team still celebrate with homemade pies! Regional isolation.

It was founded in 2006 and has since grown to have over 210 million users in 190 countries, and hosts over five million domains. And it also engaged with the performance community as a whole, for example by attending conferences, bringing in domain experts, and studying up on modern architectures such as the Jamstack.

At the instance level, many CPU and system architectures have direct access to power consumption metrics. Clock rates also change, some ARM architectures include a mixture of high performance and low power cores in the same CPU, and Intel architecture CPUs have hyperthreading, so the performance of an execution thread will vary over time.

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. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. The first was c3.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. The expectation was that with each order or two of magnitude, we would need to revisit and revise the architecture to make sure we could address the issues of scale. The importance of the network. No gatekeepers.
