At the Linux Plumber's conference there were at least 24 talks on eBPF. eBPF should stand for something meaningful, like Virtual Kernel Instruction Set (VKIS), but due to its origins it is extended Berkeley Packet Filter. It can be used for many things: network performance, firewalls, security, tracing, and device drivers.

One of the big topics at the OpenStack conference was how to prepare and implement a successful transition to 5G. In fact, 5G has plenty of valid use cases, one of which is virtual reality. If I am wearing a VR headset and turn my head, the network has to send the information for what to display before I would see it.

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.

bpftrace is a new open source tracer for Linux for analyzing production performance problems and troubleshooting software. Linux already has many performance tools, but these are often counter-based and have limited visibility.

Have you ever had to provision 2,500 virtual host instances and 120 Kubernetes clusters in two days? Well, that’s exactly what the Dynatrace University team did to support Dynatrace’s hands-on training (HoT) days at Dynatrace’s annual user conference Perform in Las Vegas. Perform 2020 Infrastructure Setup. Dynatrace news.

At the start of November I was privileged to attend HPTS (the High Performance Transaction Systems) conference in Asilomar. On the last morning of the conference Daniel Bittman presented some of the work being done in the context of the Twizzler OS project to explore new programming models for NVM. Early performance results.

there’s a Python library for virtually anything a developer or data scientist might need to do. The most popular CM tools are DevOps focused, and, like DevOps itself, they’re declining: usage in the CM topic dropped significantly (-18%) in 2019, as did virtually all CM tools. Interestingly, R itself continues to decline.

Only parts of the processes are being performed by machines, or at least supported by them. In the first step we might reach this goal by combining the fastest mobility services through a digital platform; in the next, it might be a task fulfilled by Virtual Reality. Examples are giving diagnoses to patients or legal advice.

I gave a talk about container performance recently at DockerCon, and included a quick summary of how they work: YouTube , SlideShare : If you search of slideshare and youtube, you'll find many other good talks on containers as well. At my employer we sometimes use SR-IOV for direct network interface access, and NVMe for direct disk access.

One of the most significant announcements of the entire conference to me was that of per-function concurrency control. Correspondingly, 3GB functions should see a 2x CPU performance improvement over 1.5GB Lambdas, but this is through doubling the number of cores the function has access to, rather than double the virtualized time-slices.
