What is AWS Lambda?

Dynatrace

APRIL 5, 2021

The 2014 launch of AWS Lambda marked a milestone in how organizations use cloud services to deliver their applications more efficiently, by running functions at the edge of the cloud without the cost and operational overhead of on-premises servers. What is AWS Lambda? Where does Lambda fit in the AWS ecosystem? Dynatrace news.

You may be using serverless functions like AWS Lambda , Azure Functions , or Google Cloud Functions, or a container management service, such as Kubernetes. The components of partitioned applications generally communicate over a network call.

Serverless container services. Serverless container offerings such as AWS Fargate enable companies to manage and modify containers while abstracting server layers to offer customization without increased complexity. IaaS provides direct access to compute resources such as servers, storage, and networks. CaaS vs. FaaS.

Firecracker: lightweight virtualization for serverless applications

The Morning Paper

MARCH 1, 2020

Firecracker: lightweight virtualisation for serverless applications , Agache et al., Firecracker is the virtual machine monitor (VMM) that powers AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate, and has been used in production at AWS since 2018. The first version of AWS Lambda was built using Linux containers. NSDI’20.

FaaS enables developers to create and run a single function in the cloud using a serverless compute model. Cloud providers then manage physical hardware, virtual machines, and web server software management. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) handles compute, storage, and network resources. How does function as a service work?

There were five trends and topics for 2021, Serverless First, Chaos Engineering, Wardley Mapping, Huge Hardware, Sustainability. I did a few talks on this subject early in the year, and linked this to the sustainability advantages of serverless architectures.

The layers of platforms start at the bottom with hardware choices such as which CPU architectures and vendors you want to use. The virtualization and networking platform could be datacenter based, with something like VMware, or cloud based using one of the cloud providers such as AWS EC2.

What it means to be cloud-native has gone through several evolutions: VM to container to serverless. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Network effects are not the same as monopoly control. For example, AWS created Nitro. And even that list is not invulnerable. Neither are clouds.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. The good news is that, as developers, we can do an awful lot about it. As a result of this, my view of the Internet for a long time was a little ephemeral, a sort of mirage.

Infrastructure as a Service is the term used for those cloud-based solutions that provide complete infrastructure to the users including all the overheads, hardware, and networking facilities. As a user, you just need to pay for the services, install low-level requirements and set up the networking. Software as a Service (SaaS).
