When you’re running in the cloud your containers are in a shared space; in particular they share the CPU’s memory hierarchy of the host instance. The idea CFS operates by very frequently (every few microseconds) applying a set of heuristics which encapsulate a general concept of best practices around CPU hardware use.

With the rapid advancements in web application technologies, programming languages, cloud computing services, microservices, hybrid environments, etc., monitoring distributed systems becomes much more difficult to carry out and manage. Software and hardware components are autonomous and execute tasks concurrently.

We are used to instances of software running on different computer systems as long as some basic requirements are met (e.g., same instruction set architecture, same operating system, etc.). Similarly, we expect that most computer systems can read (and write) data that is stored in some memory.

Additionally, end users can access your site or applications from anywhere in the world using different browsers, operating systems, and mobile devices, all with varying connection speeds. LoadView, our on-demand, cloud-based load and stress testing platform , takes an outside-in approach to performance testing.

Failures are a given and everything will eventually fail over time: from routers to hard disks, from operating systems to memory units corrupting TCP packets, from transient errors to permanent failures. This is a given, whether you are using the highest quality hardware or lowest cost components. Primitives not frameworks.

For Mac OS, we can use Network Link Conditioner , for Windows Windows Traffic Shaper , for Linux netem , and for FreeBSD dummynet. On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later).
