Clouds using Ethernet that are multipath optimized using libfabric and features like EFA on AWS are going to be increasingly competitive, and Ethernet will replace other interconnects between racks. AWS has invested in optimizing Ethernet for HPC via the Elastic Fabric Adaptor (EFA) option, and the l ibfabric library.

The most obvious change 5G might bring about isn’t to cell phones but to local networks, whether at home or in the office. High-speed networks through 5G may represent the next generation of cord cutting. Those waits can be significant, even if you’re on a corporate network. Let’s get back to home networking.

At my employer we sometimes use SR-IOV for direct network interface access, and NVMe for direct disk access. Most of the changes since rc7 are actually networking fixes, the bulk of them to various drivers. But there's another factor at play: jobs are also migrating from both Solaris and Linux to cloud jobs instead, specifically AWS.

It would take 5–10 minutes after the problem occurred to appear as a problem, then people have to notice and respond to emails or pager text messages, dial into a conference call, and log in to monitoring dashboards before any human response can start. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones.
