Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. Not just for HPC but for mission critical enterprise systems such as OLTP. Additionally, many high-end HPC applications take advantage of knowing their in-house hardware platforms to achieve major speedup by exploiting the specific processor architecture.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Operating Systems/Applications. The post is a bit geeky but quite informative, and worth reading if SSH bastion hosts are a key part of your architecture. John Kozej has a write-up on an NSX logical switch packet walk. Not sure what a bastion host is?

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. Visiting future customers is equally exiting as you get a change to understand their current architecture, if it is a migration, and how they plan to exploit cloud services in their new setup. New Route 53 and ELB features: IPv6, Zone Apex, WRR and more.

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. Operating Systems/Applications. Servers/Hardware.

Nick Buraglio discusses IPv6 Unique Local Addressing (ULA). Frank Denneman digs into Sapphire Rapids memory configurations (Sapphire Rapids is Intel’s 4th generation Scalable Processor Architecture). William Lam shares news about higher-capacity SODIMMs available for small or ultra small form factor systems.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. Look inside a current textbook on software architecture, and youll find few patterns that we dont apply at Amazon. This approach reduces side effects and allows services to evolve at their own pace without impacting the other components of the overall system.

Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. This article provides a good introductory overview of Linux iptables commands for configuring host-based firewall rules on your Linux systems. Operating Systems/Applications. Welcome to Technology Short Take #57. Networking. Larry Smith Jr.

Operating Systems/Applications. Want to run Docker Swarm with IPv6? is out (get it here ), marking the first LTS release from Canonical that leverages systemd as its init system. GitHub recently changed their storage architecture, using a Git-based solution called DGit. of vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC). Just sayin’.

Werner Vogels weblog on building scalable and robust distributed systems. These trade-offs have even impacted the way the lowest level building blocks in our computer architectures have been designed. Because of its focus on latency, the generic CPU yielded rather inefficient system for graphics processing. Comments ().
