Energy data can be obtained from power delivery systems in datacenters or from intelligent plugs or power strips. At the instance level, many CPU and system architectures have direct access to power consumption metrics. I published a paper and presentation in 2006 that discusses the complexities of measuring CPU utilization.

Many of you know Thorsten von Eicken as the founder of Rightscale , the company that has helped numerous organizations find their way onto AWS. In what seems almost a previous life by now Thorsten was one of the top young professors in Distributed Systems and I had the great pleasure of working with him at Cornell in the early 90''s.

In this blog post, we will discuss the best practices on the MongoDB ecosystem applied at the Operating System (OS) and MongoDB levels. Operating System (OS) settings Swappiness Swappiness is a Linux kernel setting that influences the behavior of the Virtual Memory manager when it needs to allocate a swap, ranging from 0-100.

I had to setup a week of talks by all the relevant product teams, with a hundred or so of the most experienced systems engineers from all over the world as an audience. We had specializations in hardware, operating systems, databases, graphics, etc. He hasn’t changed. So many global friendships were made that continue to today.

I don’t need more bandwidth for video conferences or movies, but I would like to be able to download operating system updates and other large items in seconds rather than minutes. But that’s also a problem that 5G vendors could solve; virtual LANs ( VLANs ) are hardly a new concept. That’s the real promise of 5G. Mike Loukides.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Looking back over the past 10 years, there are hundreds of lessons that we’ve learned about building and operating services that need to be secure, reliable, scalable, with predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Expect the unexpected.
