A brief history of IPC at Netflix Netflix was early to the cloud, particularly for large-scale companies: we began the migration in 2008, and by 2010, Netflix streaming was fully run on AWS. The abstractions that Eureka provides for this are Virtual IPs (VIPs) for insecure communication, and Secure VIPs (SVIPs) for secure.

Nowadays, there are three built-in tracers that you should know about: - **ftrace**: since 2008, this serves many tracing needs, and has been enhanced recently with hist triggers for custom histograms. What happens if processes really do try to populate all that virtual memory? From another tracker, for the US: Source: www.indeed.com.
