Introduction: I'm Going To Scale My Foot Up Your Ass - Shut up about scalability, no one is using your app anyway. Multi-Tenant Data Architecture - Microsoft's take on different approaches to multitenancy. Cloud computing rides on spiraling Energy costs - A report by US researchers has shown the increasing cost of power and cooling in the data centre is a driver towards cloud computing. Interview: Apple’s Gigantic New Data Center Hints at Cloud Computing - Companies building centers this big are getting into cloud computing. Running apps in the cloud requires massive infrastructure: Google-size infrastructure. What Does Cloud Computing Actually Cost? An Analysis of the Top Vendors - Amazon is currently the lowest cost cloud computing option overall. At least for production applications that need more than 6.5 hours of CPU/day, otherwise GAE is technically cheaper because it's free until this usage level. no:sql(east) - October 28–30, 2009, Atlanta, GA.

Introduction: We are on the edge of two potent technological changes: Clouds and Memory Based Architectures. This evolution will rip open a chasm where new players can enter and prosper. Google is the master of disk. You can't beat them at a game they perfected. Disk based databases like SimpleDB and BigTable are complicated beasts, typical last gasp products of any aging technology before a change. The next era is the age of Memory and Cloud which will allow for new players to succeed. The tipping point will be soon. Let's take a short trip down web architecture lane: It's 1993: Yahoo runs on FreeBSD, Apache, Perl scripts and a SQL database It's 1995: Scale-up the database. It's 1998: LAMP It's 1999: Stateless + Load Balanced + Database + SAN It's 2001: In-memory data-grid. It's 2003: Add a caching layer. It's 2004: Add scale-out and partitioning. It's 2005: Add asynchronous job scheduling and maybe a distributed file system. It's 2007: Move it all into the cloud. It's 2008: C

2 0.76818806 923 high scalability-2010-10-21-Machine VM + Cloud API - Rewriting the Cloud from Scratch
Introduction: Write a little "Hello World" program these days and it runs inside a bewildering Russian Doll of nested environments, each layer adding its own special performance and complexity tax. First, a language executes in its own environment of data structure libraries, memory management, and so on. That, more often than not, will run inside a language VM like the JVM, CLR, or V8. The language VM will in-turn run inside a process that runs inside an OS. An application will run in one or more threads inside a process. And the whole thing will run inside a machine sharing VM layer like Xen. And across all of that are frameworks for monitoring, elasticity, storage, and so on. That's a lot of overhead for a such a little program. What if we could remove all these taxes and run directly on the new bare metal, which some consider to be a combination of M achine VM + Cloud API ? That's exactly what a system called Mirage , described in the paper Turning down the LAMP: Software Specialisation for

Introduction: In some ways the original Amazon cloud, the one most of us still live in, was like that really cool house that when you stepped inside and saw the old green shag carpet in the living room, you knew the house hadn't been updated in a while. The network is a little slow, the processors are a bit dated, and virtualization made the house just feel smaller. It has been difficult to run high bandwidth or low latency workloads in the cloud. Bottlenecks everywhere. Not a big deal for most applications, but for many high performance applications (HPC) it was a killer. In a typical house you might just do a remodel. Upgrade a few rooms. Swap out builder quality appliances with gleaming stainless steel monsters. But Amazon has a big lot, instead of remodeling they simply keep adding on entire new wings, kind of like the Winchester Mystery House of computing. The first new wing added was a CPU based HPC system featuring blazingly fast Nehalem chips , virtualization replaced by a close t

Introduction: The introduction of cloud technologies is not a simple evolution of existing ones, but a real revolution. Like all revolutions, it changes the points of views and redefines all the meanings. Nothing is as before. This post wants to analyze some key words and concepts, usually used in traditional architectures, redefining them according the standpoint of the cloud. Understanding the meaning of new words is crucial to grasp the essence of a pure cloud architecture. << There is no greater impediment to the advancement of knowledge than the ambiguity of words. >> THOMAS REID, Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man Nowadays, it is required to challenge the limits of traditional architectures that go beyond the normal concepts of scalability and support millions of users (What's Up 500 Million) billions of transactions per day (Salesforce 1.3 billion), five 9s of availability (99.999 AOL).

Introduction: Ezra Zygmuntowicz in a heart warming account of his 4 Years at Engine Yard , has concluded in his experience that: the true future of cloud computing for developers is to not think about servers at all. It is now time to focus on the Application and new levels of abstraction that allow folks to use the computing resources in easier and easier ways. Tweets of Gold: bryanlatten : Nothing like a million caching layers to screw up an already complicated deployment. Thankfully, there is beer. jkalucki : Twitter isn't down, you are just using the wrong access methods... andyedinborough : I don't mean to hate, but why would I give up performance and scalability for a dynamic language? Honestly, I don't get it. AsitSinha : It's amazing.... to see the absence of an understanding of how capability plays a role in scalability. scottgal : Devs are HORRIBLE DBAs.

Introduction: One of the cool things about Mr. Scoble is he doesn't pretend to know everything, which can be an deadly boring affliction in this field. In this case Robert is asking for help in an upcoming interview. Maybe we can help? Here's Robert's plight: I’m really freaked out. I have one of the biggest interviews of my life coming up and I’m way under qualified to host it. It’s on Thursday and it’s about Scalability and Performance of Web Services. Look at who will be on. Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic, the company behind WordPress (and behind this blog). Paul Bucheit, one of the founders of FriendFeed and the creator of Gmail (he’s also the guy who gave Google the “don’t be evil” admonishion). Nat Brown, CTO of iLike, which got six million users on Facebook in about 10 days. What would you ask?

Introduction: The essence of my work is coming into daily contact with innovative technologies. A recent example was at the request of a partner company who wanted to answer- which one of these tools will best solve my virtualized datacenter headache? After initial analysis all the products could be classified as tools that troubleshoot VM sprawl, but there was no universally accepted term for them. The most descriptive term that I found was Virtual Resource Manager (VRM) from DynamicOps . As I delved deeper into their workings, the distinction between VRMs and Private Clouds became blurred.

5 0.83504784 981 high scalability-2011-02-01-Google Strategy: Tree Distribution of Requests and Responses
Introduction: If a large number of leaf node machines send requests to a central root node then that root node can become overwhelmed: The CPU becomes a bottleneck, for either processing requests or sending replies, because it can't possibly deal with the flood of requests. The network interface becomes a bottleneck because a wide fan-in causes TCP drops and retransmissions, which causes latency. Then clients start retrying requests which quickly causes a spiral of death in an undisciplined system. One solution to this problem is a strategy given by Dr. Jeff Dean , Head of Google's School of Infrastructure Wizardry, in this Stanford video presentation : Tree Distribution of Requests and Responses . Instead of having a root node connected to leaves in a flat topology, the idea is to create a tree of nodes. So a root node talks to a number of parent nodes and the parent nodes talk to a number of leaf nodes. Requests are pushed down the tree through the parents and only hit a subset
