Amazon deploys every 11.6 seconds

Re: Amazon deploys every 11.6 seconds
#2The same panel also has stats like "max number of hosts simultaneously receiving a deployment (3000)". Depending on how you run the numbers those 3000 hosts could all take nine hours to receive a single deployment and average out to 11.6 deploys / second / host.
Unless their systems are heavily modularized, I have a bit of a hard time believing that something new at Amazon goes live every 11.6 seconds. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd love to have a better grasp on the context involved here.

Minor correction: the slides had the max number of hosts receiving a deployment at 30,000, not 3,000.

Just to clarify, the "deployment every 11.6 seconds" refers to all prod deployments, including internal applications and services. This doesn't mean that a deployment to the retail website (and dependent services) is done every 11.6 seconds, just that some production deployment is done at Amazon every 11.6 seconds.
disclaimer: I work for Amazon, and used to work in the presenter's org.

I used to work for Amazon. This is exactly how things are, to a scale that's hard to comprehend.
Knowing how their stuff works internally, a prod deployment every 11.6 seconds is not hard to imagine at all.

#10Even though amazon.com is all on EC2 and capacity is demand driven, someone is still buying servers and has some capacity overhead, right? They've just shifted the spend from the amazon.com business unit to the AWS business unit (assuming that's how it's set up)?
