Observability and monitoring as a source of truth . Traces help find the flow of a request through a distributed system . To provide actionable answers monitoring systems store, baseline, and analyze telemetry data. Based on th is analysis , these systems can take actions such as alerting or remediation.

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. IaaS.

When AWS launched, it changed how developers thought about IT services: What used to take weeks or months of purchasing and provisioning turned into minutes with Amazon EC2. Capital-intensive storage solutions became as simple as PUTting and GETting objects in Amazon S3. Our answer is a new compute service called AWS Lambda.

While speeding up development processes and reducing complexity does make the lives of Kubernetes operators easier, the inherent abstraction and automation can lead to new types of errors that are difficult to find, troubleshoot, and prevent. Configuring storage in Kubernetes is more complex than using a file system on your host.

My last talk for 2017 was at AWS re:Invent, on "How Netflix Tunes EC2 Instances for Performance," an updated version of my [2014] talk. A video of the talk is on youtube : The slides are on slideshare : I love this talk as I get to share more about what the Performance and Operating Systems team at Netflix does, rather than just my work.

This would open up opportunities to leverage existing performance monitoring tools and dashboards, extend optimization tools like autoscalers and schedulers, and to build new kinds of carbon analysis and optimization tools and services. There are also control plane overheads, shared storage volumes and supporting services to instrument.

It is limited by the disk space; it can’t expand storage elastically; it chokes if you run few I/O intensive processes or try collaborating with 100 other users.

It would take 5–10 minutes after the problem occurred to appear as a problem, then people have to notice and respond to emails or pager text messages, dial into a conference call, and log in to monitoring dashboards before any human response can start. If something fails, there should be another way for the system to succeed.
