What about short-lived processes, like a service restarting in a loop? Since instances of both CentOS and Ubuntu were running in parallel, I could collect flame graphs at the same time (same time-of-day traffic mix) and compare them side by side. Other EC2 instance types, such as C5 or M5, use the AWS Nitro Hypervisor.

AWS is enabling innovations in areas such as healthcare, automotive, life sciences, retail, media, energy, robotics that it is mind boggling and humbling. For example many of the Internet of Things innovations that we have seen come to life in the past years on AWS all have a significant analytics components to it.

Another factor is that serverless applications are distributed, and sometimes across different cloud platforms, making it difficult to manage in the process. This is known as a cold start.

Header bidding and other programmatic advertising developments will multiply the impressions DSPs and SSPs need to process, going from hundreds of billions to trillions. However, increasing hardware capacity doesn’t really solve the problem, and it introduces new ones. Another adtech infrastructure problem is capacity.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Given that AWS is a pioneer in building and operating these services world-wide, these lessons have been of crucial importance to our business. This is a given, whether you are using the highest quality hardware or lowest cost components.
