Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Anyone can rent a rack in a colo and stand up a system. Of course not, but let's ignore that very few organizations in the world have the technological know-how to create such managed services, especially without low level control of the entire system.

First, a bit of operating-system design context. Ideally the CPU goes to sleep when Sleep(1) is called, in order to save power, so how does the operating system (OS) wake your thread if the CPU is sleeping? The answer is hardware interrupts. If any of my conclusions are wrong then please let me know and I will update this.
