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. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance.

Applications based on machine learning (ML) can provide tremendous business value. However, many developers find them difficult to build and deploy. As there are few individuals with this expertise, an easier process presents a significant opportunity for companies who want to accelerate their ML usage. Though the AWS Cloud gives you access to the storage and processing power required for ML, the process for building, training, and deploying ML models has unique challenges that often block succe

To continue down my path of solving the worlds cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) problems, I wanted to adventure into Hapi , a Node.js framework that I’ve been heavily using lately. If you’re not familiar with cross-origin resource sharing, it is something that frequently comes up when you try to use front-end JavaScript to access content from another host or port.

At re:Invent 2017, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced Amazon Time Sync Service which provides a highly accurate and reliable global time reference. This service is immediately available in all AWS regions. In many ways, Amazon Time Sync Service is truly inspired by Google' TrueTime. TrueTime is a global reference clock with a bounded non-zero error.

Technical debt is a contentious topic. Building product quickly is at first a very desirable goal, but oftentimes that means taking on technical debt which can slow down a team’s ability to build product in the future. Figuring out the right balance between building quickly in the short term vs building quickly in the long term is quite challenging.

When building an application of any kind, there may be a need to have it send emails. For example, let’s say you’re building a script and that script needs to send a report through email when it has completed. Or another example is a web application with a form for collecting user feedback. There are many more application scenarios beyond the two listed.

The chattering classes would have us believe that technology disrupts. It does not. Socio-economic conditions change to create an incongruity that is ripe for exploitation. By way of example, the technology to enable the sharing economy existed for years, but monetizing everything from spare time to the spare bedroom only became appealing when mortgages went underwater, wages stagnated, and the labor participation rate dropped.

Not too long ago I had written a few tutorials around navigation in a Vue.js web application. I had written about navigating between routes as well as passing data between routes in the form of route parameters and query parameters. When developing a web application with a successful user interface, you’re going to want to recycle as many features as possible.
