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. It's an exciting development in cloud computing: hardware virtualization is now fast. Virtualized in Hardware**: Hardware support for virtualization, and near bare-metal speeds.

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. The importance of the network. Each of those workloads have unique requirements when it comes to the network. Because network access is a shared resource, customers previously could experience significant jitter on the network at times.

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. Regional isolation.

Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, both real and virtual. Some participants were served pages at normal speeds over WiFi, while others were served pages at a consistently slowed-down speed (using software that created an artificial 500-millisecond network delay). How do we perceive wait times?

React got popular due to the virtual document object model (DOM) which enables it to enhance performance of web apps and PWA significantly. Usage of Virtual DOM allows efficient rendering where only certain part of webpage is rerendered speeding up performance. Absence of Virtual DOM results in less memory intensive applications.
