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. Each dimension has progressed through these stages: 1.

Since its introduction by AWS in 2014, AWS Lambda has revolutionized the compute space and boosted the entire serverless movement. To handle N parallel requests, N Lambda instances need to be available, and AWS will spin up up to 1000 such instances automatically to handle 1000 parallel requests. The virtual CPU is turned off.

My last talk for 2017 was at AWS re:Invent, on "How Netflix Tunes EC2 Instances for Performance," an updated version of my [2014] talk. A video of the talk is on youtube : The slides are on slideshare : I love this talk as I get to share more about what the Performance and Operating Systems team at Netflix does, rather than just my work.

These strange questions came to the fore back in 2014 when Netflix was switching services from CentOS Linux to Ubuntu, and I helped debug several weird performance issues including one I'll describe here.

In the next post we’ll look at the detailed analysis of how a team at Etsy handled a particular incident on December 4th 2014, to see what we can learn from it. The Internet itself, over which these systems operate, is a dynamically distributed network spanning national borders and policies with no central coordinating agent.

As the internet grew, the amount of information available to consumers became so vast that it outran traditional human means of curation and selection. But in 2013 and 2014, it remained stuck at 83% , and while in the ten years since, it has reached 95% , it had become clear that the easy money that came from acquiring more users was ending.

Although a beta version was released in 2014, the first stable release of Kubernetes was just made available in September 2018. That’s why Google set out to develop an open source system that would simplify the “deployment, scaling and operations” of containerized applications across multiple hosts.
