Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. Each dimension has progressed through these stages: 1.

Understanding KVM Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) stands out as a virtualization technology in the world of Linux. Embedded within the Linux kernel, KVM empowers the creation of VMs with their virtualized hardware components, such as CPUs, memory, storage, and network cards, essentially mimicking a machine.

The epoch of AWS is the launch of Amazon S3 on March 14, 2006, now almost 10 years ago. Another successful example of how AWS-designed networking hardware and software enabled us to further improve performance for our customers was in addressing the virtualization tax on network access from virtual machines.

But every year when March 14th comes around, it's a good reminder that Amazon S3 originally launched on Pi Day, March 14, 2006. Powering the virtual instances and other resources that make up the AWS Cloud are real physical data centers with AWS servers in them. At AWS, we don't mark many anniversaries.

Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, both real and virtual. We then poured all the adjectives from the interviews into a word cloud generator and generated clouds for each version (normal and slow) of each site. Let's start with a wide-angle look at how we humans handle waiting, in all its forms.

The challenge is that accurate data isn’t available immediately, and cloud providers currently only provide monthly carbon data, with several months lag. Cloud providers don’t disclose their own REC and Private Purchase Agreements, but these are taken into account in their monthly reports, with a few months delay.
