We used this model effectively at Netflix when I was their cloud architect from 2010 through 2013. The next layer is operating system platforms, what flavor of Linux, what version of Windows etc. Above that there’s a deployment platform such as Kubernetes or AWS Lambda.

Smaller teams can launch services much faster using flexible containerized environments, such as Kubernetes, or serverless functions, such as AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions. For example, a virtual machine (VM) can replace containers to design and architect microservices. Serverless platforms.

Nevertheless, there are related components and processes, for example, virtualization infrastructure and storage systems (see image below), that can lead to problems in your Kubernetes infrastructure. You haven’t detected that there’s a shortage of disk space on the virtualization host (or its shared storage).

The need for systems to be resilient is still increasing, and chaos engineering tools and techniques are developing as a key way to validate that resilience is working as designed. If you are building resilient systems with failover, the control plane that manages failover is often the hardest part of the system to get right.

My last talk for 2017 was at AWS re:Invent, on "How Netflix Tunes EC2 Instances for Performance," an updated version of my [2014] talk. A video of the talk is on youtube : The slides are on slideshare : I love this talk as I get to share more about what the Performance and Operating Systems team at Netflix does, rather than just my work.

The challenge is that accurate data isn’t available immediately, and cloud providers currently only provide monthly carbon data, with several months lag. Cloud providers don’t disclose their own REC and Private Purchase Agreements, but these are taken into account in their monthly reports, with a few months delay.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. There are many times we get asked why some cloud instance performed poorly for their database application and almost always turned out to be some configuration error.

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.

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.
