You may be using serverless functions like AWS Lambda , Azure Functions , or Google Cloud Functions, or a container management service, such as Kubernetes. When an application runs on a single large computing element, a single operating system can monitor every aspect of the system.

Serverless container offerings such as AWS Fargate enable companies to manage and modify containers while abstracting server layers to offer customization without increased complexity. Container-based software isn’t tied to a platform or operating system, so IT teams can move or reconfigure processes easily. CaaS vs. FaaS.

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 ? These may be performance, high availability, operational cost, management, capacity planning, scalability, security, monitoring, etc.

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.

Cloud service providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) , can offer infrastructure with five-nines availability by deploying in multiple availability zones and replicating data between regions. An always-on infrastructure provides the foundation for system availability that can deliver five-nines availability.

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. All of the existing approaches we just examined involve trade-offs that AWS didn’t want to make.
