I moved to the US in 2006 as there were many more opportunities there, especially in kernel engineering and performance. Sydney has AWS and Google offices and even a small Netflix office, just to name a few. (Disclaimer: Netflix is an exception, as they have been great with visa workers including myself.)

At AWS, we don't mark many anniversaries. 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. Regional isolation.

At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. The first was c3.

In 2006, Dynatrace released the first production-ready solution for distributed tracing with code-level insights. PurePath 4 supports serverless computing out-of-the-box, including Kubernetes services from Amazon Web Services (AWS) , Microsoft Azure , and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is where Dynatrace comes into play.

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. AWS helps its customers do this too. Build security in from the ground up.

I published a paper and presentation in 2006 that discusses the complexities of measuring CPU utilization. The underlying data is available to the cloud vendors themselves, so they would need to supply a one minute, per instance, energy use value as an AWS CloudWatch metric or equivalent for other cloud providers.

In 2006, Denis Defreyne tried to set up a Ruby-based blog platform and ran into performance problems — “Having a VPS with only 96 MB of RAM, any Ruby-based CMS ran extremely slowly.” Twitch developer documentation hosted on AWS, edited on CloudCannon. We can see all the bones of modern Jamstack CMSs here.

The good news is that, as developers, we can do an awful lot about it. On YouTube, the average number of monthly users grew from 20 million in 2006 to 2 billion in 2020. If you’ve been used to thinking about the work you do as essentially harmless to the environment, this realization can be quite disheartening. More after jump!

Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) was launched in 2006 as "Storage for the Internet" with the promise to make web-scale computing easier for developers. The goal for operational excellence in Amazon S3 (and for all other AWS services) is that it should be "indistinguishable from perfect". Driving Storage Costs Down for AWS Customers.

With the recent publication of the ECP’s Trusted Cloud Europe vision, which encourages cloud adoption in the region, I wanted to give the AWS view of the ECP’s vision and define a high level approach of the elements needed to continue to drive adoption of cloud computing across Europe.
