Solaris to Linux Migration 2017

Brendan Gregg

Both Xen and KVM have had many performance and security improvements, and workloads can now be tuned to run at almost bare metal speeds (say, a 3% loss or less). Appliance manufacturers hire kernel engineers to develop custom features, including storage appliances. Outside of EC2, many other providers are deploying on KVM.

The Performance Inequality Gap, 2021

Alex Russell

TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. The Moto G4 , for example. Here begins our 2021 adventure.

I recently profiled a page on a Pixel 2 (released in 2017), and an Alcatel 1x (released in 2018). Mbps download speed Jake Archibald mentioned his relative getting or the 0.8 Mbps download speed my in-laws get at their house. Ballooning bandwidth and storage have fostered complacency that we can do without.
