The most obvious change 5G might bring about isn’t to cell phones but to local networks, whether at home or in the office. High-speed networks through 5G may represent the next generation of cord cutting. Those waits can be significant, even if you’re on a corporate network. Let’s get back to home networking.

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.

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.

If something fails, there should be another way for the system to succeed. For high resiliency systems, it’s even better to use the “rule of three” and quorum based algorithms. This is why most AWS regions have three availability zones. that are used across multiple applications. The rows are shown split below for readability.
