My talks on Failing Over Without Falling Over are still very relevant, but AWS did finally release a key new service that implements key parts of the architecture: AWS Route 53 Application Recovery Controller. For example AWS launched an instance type with 800 Gbits/s of network bandwith in 2021. primarily virtual?—?and

While it’s sadly premature to say that the survey took place at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic (though we can all hope), it took place at a time when restrictions were loosening: we were starting to go out in public, have parties, and in some cases even attend in-person conferences. Salaries were lower regardless of education or job title.

It's an exciting time for developments in computer performance, not just for the BPF technology (which I often [write about]) but also for processors with 3D stacking and cloud vendor CPUs (e.g., In case you are interested, at the same conference I also gave a talk on [BPF Internals].

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.

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. I do regular backups, but I know I’m the exception.

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.

The shift to cloud native design is transforming both software architecture and infrastructure and operations. Still cloud-y, but with a possibility of migration. Strong usage in cloud platforms (+16%) accounted for most cloud-specific growth. Cloud native design is a new way of thinking about software and architecture.
