Cloud computing revolutionized application design and changed the way people think about infrastructure. The rise of cloud computing coincided with a new generation of applications and services that required scale. New architecture and design had to take into account low latency network connectivity, geographic distribution, large real-time data stores, the ability to meet demand (while not knowing exactly how much demand to handle), and so much more. We refer to this as Internet Scale. Yet most discussion of scale and cloud revolves around compute as virtualized instances, which have defined configurations and constrained options. Delivering on the promise of Internet Scale involves substantial upfront design, and a comprehensive understanding of the entire architecture from the underlying hardware, to the operating system, the application stack, services, and deployment. And, it involves choice choices you should make based on your requirements. Join us for a discussion on the many facets of Internet Scale and how it can apply to your applications and services.
