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. 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. Over the past dozen or so years, user surveys have revealed that what we claim to want changes over time – from 8-second load times back in 1999 to 4 seconds in 2006 to around 2 seconds today. How do we perceive wait times? Short answer: Poorly.
