Introduction to KVM, SR-IOV, and Exploring the Advantages of SR-IOV in KVM Environments

DZone

Understanding KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) stands out as a virtualization technology in the world of Linux. Embedded within the Linux kernel, KVM empowers the creation of VMs with their virtualized hardware components, such as CPUs, memory, storage, and network cards, essentially mimicking a machine.

The psychology of site speed and human happiness

Speed Curve

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?

Proposal for a Realtime Carbon Footprint Standard

Adrian Cockcroft

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.

Top Frontend Frameworks to use in 2022

Enprowess

React got popular due to the virtual document object model (DOM) which enables it to enhance performance of web apps and PWA significantly. Usage of Virtual DOM allows efficient rendering where only certain part of webpage is rerendered speeding up performance. Absence of Virtual DOM results in less memory intensive applications.

Sharing Data Among Multiple Servers Through AWS S3

Smashing Magazine

Note: It makes sense to use S3 as the cloud object storage solution only if we also use Amazon’s service for virtual servers on the cloud, EC2 , for running the application. Otherwise, our site will suffer an overhead from data traveling among different companies’ networks. Creating The Bucket.
