We run rather a lot more than 2500 instances at peak and a variety of instance types dependent on game mode. Our waste is on the order of 5-7% depending on the time of day -- we ca…

It's very true in my experience, and we've looked pretty hard at all the options. Thanks for the offer of the slides, I have first hand experience with this at scale. It certainly …

The vast majority of game servers are hosted on public cloud providers. They turn out to be a pretty perfect example of an ideal cloud workload: - Very elastic demand curve - Gener…

Totally agree, there's definitely an opportunity there if the surface area of what the system is doing gets smaller. The big difference today is that it's a lot easier to compose a…

No, I'm not moving any goal posts. I was reacting to the statement "Tooling/Perf/etc is not needed when running". I'm not sure where you'd get the idea that I'm anti-unikernel, I j…

> Tooling/Perf/etc is not needed when running (do you really want to debug in production) but tooling can be used in the process of development. Whether or not you want to debug in…

This is an asinine argument that seems to be driven by the belief that there is such a thing as efficient allocation of capital in the real world. Or perhaps just sour grapes that …

It actually is unreasonable for you to ask that. It's also a pretty bad take to bring up the 150,000 people die every day statistic as if the fact that a single person who many peo…

The Glowforge will only engrave from a bitmap. You need a vector to do cutting.

But MQDs.

This is extra delicious irony given the fact that the typical, and often only, requirement for these SDN layers is IP connectivity.

Yes. They've been hosting it outside of their production infrastructure for several years.

Hi, I'm Mark Imbriaco. That's my deck. As I said in response to another comment in this thread, I don't often share my slides without the context of the recording of the talk that …

Thanks, I appreciate that. I generally don't like to post decks without the recording of the talk and I was kind of surprised this one got shared as widely as it seems to have been…

I don't tend to recite my slides, so your prediction that the talk was more insightful was ... insightful. Each of the slides was accompanied with an anecdote that attempted to bot…

Hi everybody, I'm the founder and CEO of Operable, developers of the Cog ChatOps platform. I'm happy to answer any questions folks might have about Cog or how we think about ops an…

In a traditional RDBMS you would let the database enforce schema level authn if that was a concern, so wouldn't have to parse anything. You'd just connect to the database as the ap…

That's irrelevant since we are specifically talking about the NC law. The NC law was very specifically targeted at municipal broadband projects and was effectively written by Time …

The judge conveniently disregards the difference between passive observation and active intrusion. Breaking into someone's computer is no different than if the officer had broken t…

Google "Netflix downtime" for evidence that Netflix also has outages. Google has outages, sometimes very significant ones of Google Apps. Facebook has outages. Complex systems fail…

You're absolutely right. We should collectively be using incidents like this as an opportunity to learn, much like the GitHub team does. Our entire industry is held back by the lac…
