Rich Internet APps means less core – more things happening on the edge
changing the nature of the requests on the data center
no moores law for power and heat
processing power for electiricty
what does a data center look like?
who worries
coghead, quickbase – no datacenter
someone at the other end (EC2, S3) – depends on who you ask and who the dev is
hardware costs dominate
driving down people costs fast with autoadmin
bad – 40% costs admin
good – 3%
hardware matters – multiplies badly
some properties – 50%
dynamic resource allocation – super important
non-vm world – blast images
dynamic resources super important
resource equalization
10 or 12 instances
discs some with 500-750 gig capacity
100 IOps per sec
large # of apps – IO bound
see some apps are bounded on one or the other – balance workloads
networking bandwidth – egress and ingress
big gains ot be had
savings in admin costs
new app model in svcs world
100% automation
old – alert and investgate
new – restart reboot
really cheap model for admin
only works with 100% redundant state
oh so cheap to admin
5
more small slices
stop buying big systems
consoldiating workloads
very small inexpensive systems
power scales linear, or cubically with freq
end of the gold plated machine room
20% of cost is redundant power
investing b/c they couldnt afford to ever go ddown
stuff to hear about –
concept of data center and what you think of with infrastructure
seen as what the servers are
why am i deplying great code
infra a lot more
size of data center, container, hardware – a lot more than the servers themselves – the app deliver subsystem
app delivery infra
between servers and router lots of boxes with diff resp. – securing, faster, right place,
first mile
network itself –
between servers and what you get to the network is something
lot of things happeneing there
app devs – keep in mind what is happening
