The early days at Sun Cambridge were special, I absorbed a lot about networking and the technical side of the role from my fellow systems engineer Martin Baines, and we were driving all over the region in cool company cars (I had a Citroen BX 16V) selling a really hot product. that a lot of people used.

During AWS re:Invent 2019, we announced a number of High Performance Computing (HPC) innovations including the Amazon EC2 M6g, C6g, and R6g instances powered by next-generation Arm-based AWS Graviton2 Processors. We also recently announced that new AMD-powered, compute-optimized EC2 instances are in the works.

The ability to compute quantiles over aggregated metrics has been recognized to be an essential feature of any monitoring system… Given how expensive calculating exact quantiles can be for both storage and network bandwidth, most monitoring system will compress the data into sketches and compute approximate quantiles.

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. The third technique is lineage driven fault detection [Paper: Peter Alvaro].
