The Netflix TechBlog

AUGUST 29, 2023

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.

March 26, 2008 doesn't have any delicious desserts associated with it, but that's the day when we launched Availability Zones for Amazon EC2. Powering the virtual instances and other resources that make up the AWS Cloud are real physical data centers with AWS servers in them.

Ive been following processor architectures for most of my career, from when I was writing embedded code in the 1980s, through my time as a SPARC specialist at Sun Microsystems, and I gave a keynote at Usenix in 2008 where I talked about how ARM architecture (at that time in embedded and mobile phones only) would eventually end up running enterprise (..)

Better security , with Secure Memory Encryption and Secure Encrypted Virtualization. Because of this, I think they will be a great choice for virtualization hosts and for Storage Spaces Direct nodes. More total PCIe lanes and bandwidth. Lower power usage. Much lower pricing, especially compared to "M" and "L" suffix Intel processors.
