Amazon SWF manages the execution flow such that the tasks are load balanced across the registered workers, that inter-task dependencies are respected, that concurrency is handled appropriately and that child workflows are executed.

as well as Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V–allows VMware customers to use DirectPath I/O to assign VMs directly to a VF, bypassing the hypervisor. It is, however, very well-suited to workloads that need predictable performance and that work with lots of small packets (firewalls, load balancers, other network devices).

In 2012, FanDuel moved the architecture toward SOA, introducing message queues to decouple services. FanDuel started to use Puppet to help with configuration management, and they started evaluating the use of Elastic Load Balancers (ELBs) and Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) to help with scaling.

With a well-planned deployment, and a good infrastructure, companies can efficiently load-balance their IT environment between multiple active, cloud-based, sites. So, if one site should go down – users would transparently be balanced to the next nearest or most available data center. . December 2012 (151).

The Intel Open Network Platform (ONP) Switch is the official name for Seacliff Trail, which I talked about last year at IDF 2012. Some of these services naturally should run on the top-of-rack (ToR) switch, like load balancing or security services. IDF 2012 Day 1 Summary and Thoughts.
