Optimize your environment: Unveiling Dynatrace Hyper-V extension for enhanced performance and efficient troubleshooting

Dynatrace

Hyper-V plays a vital role in ensuring the reliable operations of data centers that are based on Microsoft platforms. Microsoft Hyper-V is a virtualization platform that manages virtual machines (VMs) on Windows-based systems. This leads to a more efficient and streamlined experience for users.

What is serverless computing? Driving efficiency without sacrificing observability

Dynatrace

Traditional computing models rely on virtual or physical machines, where each instance includes a complete operating system, CPU cycles, and memory. VMware commercialized the idea of virtual machines, and cloud providers embraced the same concept with services like Amazon EC2, Google Compute, and Azure virtual machines.

A tale of two abstractions: the case for object space

The Morning Paper

This is a companion paper to the " persistent problem " piece that we looked at earlier this week, going a little deeper into the object pointer representation choices and the mapping of a virtual object space into physical address spaces. Both abstractions must be implemented in a way that is efficient using existing hardware.

Monitoring Distributed Systems

Dotcom-Montior

This complexity is “hidden” to the end user, like how an API (Application Programming Interface) operates, whether that is an actual user or another computer. These systems can include physical servers, containers, virtual machines, or even a device, or node, that connects and communicates with the network. Heterogeneity.

A persistent problem: managing pointers in NVM

The Morning Paper

Byte-addressable non-volatile memory,) NVM will fundamentally change the way hardware interacts, the way operating systems are designed, and the way applications operate on data. This means that the overheads of system calls become much more noticeable. in front of that memory , as we saw last week).

Time protection: the missing OS abstraction

The Morning Paper

The paper sets out what we can do in software given today’s hardware, and along the way also highlights areas where cooperation from hardware will be needed in the future. The paper focuses on two key use cases: A confined component running in its own security domain, connected to the rest of the system by explicit (e.g.
