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. It's using software and coordination between the hypervisor and guest to improve performance.

Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, both real and virtual. Some participants were served pages at normal speeds over WiFi, while others were served pages at a consistently slowed-down speed (using software that created an artificial 500-millisecond network delay). How do we perceive wait times?

Energy data at the entire machine or raw cloud instance level needs to be apportioned to virtual machines or cloud instances which run an operating system, and to pods, containers and processes running applications and background activities that consume CPU, memory and I/O resources.

Many of the software programs have a web version in some form or other. Web apps allow you to break the traditional constraints of the desktop and mobile operating systems and provide freedom to experiment with different varieties of software. Absence of Virtual DOM results in less memory intensive applications.

All Things Distributed

But every year when March 14th comes around, it's a good reminder that Amazon S3 originally launched on Pi Day, March 14, 2006. Powering the virtual instances and other resources that make up the AWS Cloud are real physical data centers with AWS servers in them. At AWS, we don't mark many anniversaries. Regional isolation.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Almost from day one, we knew that the software we were building would not be the software that would be running a year later. The importance of the network. Each of those workloads have unique requirements when it comes to the network.
