Back on December 5, 2017, Microsoft announced that they were using AMD EPYC 7551 processors in their storage-optimized Lv2-Series virtual machines. The older Intel Xeon E5-26xx v3 (Haswell) series which was introduced in Q3 of 2014, had a maximum memory bandwidth of 2133MHz. Figure 2: Microsoft Project Olympus. 10 x 1.9TB NVMe SSD.

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. It's an exciting development in cloud computing: hardware virtualization is now fast. Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds.

Before booting a compiled Linux kernel image on actual hardware, it can save us time and potential headache to do a quick boot in a virtual machine like QEMU. Also, QEMU has more flags than virtually any other binary I’ve ever seen (other than a google3 binary; shots fired), and simply getting it to print to the terminal is ¾ the battle.

Web apps allow you to break the traditional constraints of the desktop and mobile operating systems and provide freedom to experiment with different varieties of software. React got popular due to the virtual document object model (DOM) which enables it to enhance performance of web apps and PWA significantly. And we can’t deny that.

Consistent improvement is the name of the game, and it can still have positive impacts, particularly as users lean on the system more heavily over time. Delayed three years [8].
