Traditional, perimeter-based defenses are all but useless in internet-facing cloud services. Infrastructure is provisioned and modified in code, eliminating much of the need for manual installation and tuning. The time to productivity is faster. Trust nothing. Match tools to tasks. Deployment can also be modular.

This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns. While a mobile device is almost always connected to the internet and reachable, a smart TV is only online while in use.

For all the awful things the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, it has at least led to some breathtakingly good reporting. That it could find a new audience as an animated series online, then be nominated for not one but two Emmys , is testament to the transformative powers of the internet. Jump to table of contents ?.

I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R. I saw Erik Fisher last time I was in Budapest, and Constantin Gonzalez later became one of the first AWS solutions architects in Germany, too many names to mention.

Colleagues/Internet I love using [Linux performance tools]. But I also love solving issues quickly, and sometimes that means just asking colleagues or searching the Internet. Aftermath I provided details to AWS and Canonical, and then moved onto the other performance issues as part of the migration.

The goal of DynamoDB is simple: to provide the same level of scalability and availability as the original Dynamo, while freeing developers from the burden of operating distributed datastores (such as cluster setup, software upgrades, hardware lifecycle management, performance tuning, security upgrades, operations, etc.)

Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). The odd time we hit them, we'll take the "oops message" – a dump of the kernel stack trace and other details from the system log – and search the Internet.

Even with cloud-based foundation models like GPT-4, which eliminate the need to develop your own model or provide your own infrastructure, fine-tuning a model for any particular use case is still a major undertaking. How will AI adopters react when the cost of renting infrastructure from AWS, Microsoft, or Google rises?
