These are all interesting metrics from marketing point of view, and also highly interesting to you as they allow you to engage with the teams that are driving the traffic against your IT-system.

A quick canary test was free of errors and showed lower latency, which is expected given that our standard canary setup routes an equal amount of traffic to both the baseline running on 4xl and the canary on 12xl. What’s worse, average latency degraded by more than 50%, with both CPU and latency patterns becoming more “choppy.”

To emit a run queue latency metric, we leveraged three eBPF hooks: sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, and sched_switch. During this event, we generate a timestamp and store it in an eBPF hash map using the process ID as the key. ' They let us identify when a process is ready to run and is waiting for CPU time.
