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. AWS called this [enhanced networking]. Impressive!

BPF is a new in-demand technology, and I expect that, over time, a dozen or more books about it may be published – as happens for other hot new technologies. I've been helping lead BPF observability since 2014, and I'm a major contributor and maintainer for the front-ends. Guess how many books there are about Docker?

Linux has been adding tracing technologies over the years: kprobes (kernel dynamic tracing), uprobes (user-level dynamic tracing), tracepoints (static tracing), and perf_events (profiling and hardware counters). And namespaces, used for Linux containers, are also a relevant technology.

We’ve seen these sorts of comparison before, and frankly claiming that you “might” not need jQuery is an awful innocent statement to make.
