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.

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.

An effective solution to this problem must be able to handle scale, depth, breadth, and heterogeneity across the software lifecycle. In 2006, Dynatrace released the first production-ready solution for distributed tracing with code-level insights. FaaS like AWS Lambda and Azure Functions are seamlessly integrated with no code changes.

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.

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.

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.
