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.

Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) vs. Dedicated Hosting at ScaleGrid

Scalegrid

This is why our BYOC pricing is less than our Dedicated Hosting pricing, as the costs listed for BYOC are only what you pay for ScaleGrid and don’t include your hardware costs. A vast majority of the features are the same, outside of these advanced features available through the BYOC model: Virtual Private Clouds / Virtual Networks.

USENIX SREcon APAC 2022: Computing Performance: What's on the Horizon

Brendan Gregg

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. The call for participation ends on March 2nd 23:59 SGT! Ford, et al., “TCP

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.

The Speed of Time

Brendan Gregg

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. CLI tools The Cassandra systems were EC2 virtual machine (Xen) instances. Was there some other program consuming CPU, like a misbehaving Ubuntu service that wasn't in CentOS? These can be invisible to top(8).
