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. Today we have a wealth of tools, both OSS and commercial, all designed for cloud-native environments.

Observability platforms are becoming essential as the complexity of cloud-native architectures increases. But by 2015, it was more common to split up monolithic applications into distributed systems. A database could start executing a storage management process that consumes database server resources.

This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! That chance encounter, coupled with the Netflix's fault-tolerant cloud, gave me enough confidence to suggest trying tsc in production as a workaround for the issue. We ended up setting it in the BaseAMI for all cloud services.

Back-end servers. I made that up, AFAIK they don't run Linux, but I may be wrong!)

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. Impressive! 0% performance overhead.

In 2015, 35% of the internet traffic came from mobile devices, 6 years later, the number is 54.8%. Cloud-based online tools generally go with the emulators and simulators on their platform. Their maintenance is easier and upgrading, updating, or discarding them from the server is a simple task. Emulators are extremely cheap.

Load averages are an industry-critical metric – my company spends millions auto-scaling cloud instances based on them and other metrics – but on Linux there's some mystery around them. They can be also useful when a single value of demand is desired, such as for a cloud auto scaling rule. I've never seen an explanation.
