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. Each dimension has progressed through these stages: 1.

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.

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.

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 evolvable systems. Automation is key.

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. It also needs to handle every possible failure of storage devices, of servers, networks and operating systems, all while continuing to serve hundreds of thousands of customers.
