My last talk for 2017 was at AWS re:Invent, on "How Netflix Tunes EC2 Instances for Performance," an updated version of my [2014] talk. Virtual Memory. Alex Maestretti (security) co-presented SecOps 2021 Today: Using AWS Services to Deliver SecOps. My talk included a section on Linux kernel tunables, as follows. Huge Pages.

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.

Faster devices on faster networks have virtually no stalls. You can use list virtualization libraries like react-window to optimize long lists as well ( thanks, Addy Osmani! ).
