The Morning Paper

MAY 12, 2019

An open-source benchmark suite for microservices and their hardware-software implications for cloud & edge systems Gan et al., The paper examines the implications of microservices at the hardware, OS and networking stack, cluster management, and application framework levels, as well as the impact of tail latency.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? Amazon Aurora is a proprietary, cloud-native, fully managed relational database service developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

In these modern environments, every hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure component and every container, open-source tool, and microservice generates records of every activity. Open-source solutions, such as OpenTelemetry , provide a de facto standard for collecting telemetry data in cloud settings.

This key/value store acts as the single source of truth for all information on the cluster (state, and all changes to state transitions) are entered and stored here. To be robust and scalable, this key/value store needs to be distributed for durability and availability, to protect against network partitions or hardware failures.

The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees. The deadline excels at latency-sensitive use cases ( like databases ), and noop is closer to no schedule at all. Percona’s open source database monitoring tool monitors the health of your database infrastructure and helps you improve MongoDB performance.

We don’t talk about energy as often as we probably should on this blog, but it’s certainly true that our data centres and various IT systems consume an awful lot of it. The goal is to produce a low-energy hardware classifier for embedded applications doing local processing of sensor data. Introducing race logic.

This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes. Collecting some critical metrics at one second intervals, with a total observability latency of ten seconds or less matches the human attention span much better. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones.
