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. Our team looks after the BaseAMI, kernel tuning, OS performance tools and profilers, and self-service tools like Vector. Not a lot has changed with these tunables since my [2014] talk.

SQL Performance

JUNE 21, 2019

Prior to SQL Server 2012, the maximum server memory value only applied to the bufferpool, so customers needed to limit the amount of memory the bufferpool could use to save memory for the operating system and other processes. For SQL Server 2008R – 2014, you could lower this threshold using trace flag 2371.
