AWS announced a new service?—?the The general goal of SAR is to make it easier to distribute, and consume, applications that have been developed using AWS Serverless products, like Lambda. SAM itself is built on top of AWS CloudFormation ?—?Amazon’s the Serverless Application Repository (SAR)?—?at at re:Invent 2017.

Colleagues/Internet I love using Linux performance tools. But I also love solving issues quickly, and sometimes that means just asking colleagues or searching the Internet. I happened to be speaking at a technical confering while still debugging this, and mentioned what I was working on to a processor engineer.

I saw Erik Fisher last time I was in Budapest, and Constantin Gonzalez later became one of the first AWS solutions architects in Germany, too many names to mention. I also applied Six Sigma to capacity planning and presented this at a conference in 2003. He hasn’t changed. So many global friendships were made that continue to today.

With existing customers I get a change to dive deep on their AWS usage and understand what works well and where we can do better. Visiting future customers is equally exiting as you get a change to understand their current architecture, if it is a migration, and how they plan to exploit cloud services in their new setup.

Earlier this month I spent a week at the OpenStack conference. But once you realize that there are, in fact, several OpenStack conferences happening at the same time and place, it makes more sense. Private Clouds made of commodity hardware are perceived as the logical solution to this problem. The “Public Private Cloud” folks.

The light show at the re:Play party Another re:Invent has come and gone, and us mere AWS-using mortals are now rapidly trying to sort the wheat from the chaff of a heady harvest of announcements. It’s funny to think that AWS Lambda was announced at re:Invent only 3 years ago?—?the Cloud9 is, at its most simple, a cloud hosted IDE.

Xen's biggest user is the Amazon EC2 cloud, which has over one million customers, and appears to be a custom version (it self identifies as version "3.4.3.amazon"). The way the cloud is used helps with security: most instances at my employer have only been up for one or two days. Oracle VM Server is based on Xen.

The success of our early results with the Dynamo database encouraged us to write Amazon's Dynamo whitepaper and share it at the 2007 ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP conference), so that others in the industry could benefit. Manageable – The service would need to be easy to manage and operate.
