Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. It's an exciting development in cloud computing: hardware virtualization is now fast. Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds.

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.

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.
