It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g.,

It's an important vendor-neutral space to share the latest in technology. USENIX has been a great help to my career and my employers, and I hope it is just as helpful for you. And now, helping bring USENIX conferences to Australia by giving the first keynote: I could not have scripted or expected it.

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. At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. Apps may run 2x to 10x slower, or worse.

A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. These design principles led us to client-side load-balancing, and the 2012 Christmas Eve outage solidified this decision even further.
