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.

This spring I travelled through Europe for the AWS Global Summit series. Europe is a continent with much diversity and for each country there are great AWS customer examples to tell. To reach those goals, Shell in 2010 began using AWS. Shell leverages AWS for big data analytics to help achieve these goals.

Empowering innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Amazon Web Services (AWS). I often get to meet, discuss, and learn from innovators how they are using AWS to deliver transformative applications to their users, customers and partners. Troy: We moved our service from internal servers to AWS.

Where this really can make a difference is in cloud implementations where you are paying for more than just compute and storage resources. Reducing the buffers going across the wire will lower the TCO for the solution over time, and the code changes required to implement this savings are relatively simple.

Since MongoDB usually works with a replica set, it is possible to increase this parameter to get better performance: # edit /etc/mongod.conf storage: journal: enabled: true commitIntervalMs: 300 WiredTiger cache For dedicated servers, it is possible to increase the WiredTiger(WT) cache. By default, it uses 50% of the memory + 1 GB.

In April 2017, Amazon Web Services announced that it would launch a new AWS infrastructure region Region in Sweden. Today, I'm happy to announce that the AWS Europe (Stockholm) Region, our 20th Region globally, is now generally available for use by customers. Public sector.

This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones. In general a good way to avoid customer visible issues caused by control plane failure modes is to pre-allocate identity, network, compute and storage/database structures wherever possible.

Linux has been adding tracing technologies over the years: kprobes (kernel dynamic tracing), uprobes (user-level dynamic tracing), tracepoints (static tracing), and perf_events (profiling and hardware counters). But there's another factor at play: jobs are also migrating from both Solaris and Linux to cloud jobs instead, specifically AWS.

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.

This requires an asset storage solution. Asset Storage We refer to asset storage and management simply as asset management. We can leverage high performance VMs in AWS to generate the assets. We felt it would be beneficial to create a separate microservice for asset management for 2 reasons.

CrUX generates an overview of performance distributions over time, with traffic collected from Google Chrome users. But account for the different types and usage behaviors of your customers (which Tobias Baldauf called cadence and cohorts ), along with bot traffic and seasonality effects. You can create your own on Chrome UX Dashboard.

s web-based applications often encounter database scaling challenges when faced with growth in users, traffic, and data. Behind the scenes, Amazon DynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for a table over a sufficient number of servers to meet the request capacity specified by the customer.
