Marked your account for priority!

We’re not just putting this together for CI, we’ll also be connecting it to a CLI so you can just throw your local environment into a cloud VM to run really quickly and be torn down!

RWX looks amazing! I wonder if there’s an opportunity for collaboration there…

I can’t wait to open source our filesystem this month, it’s ridiculous the kind of stuff we jammed into the Linux kernel

- How to run VMs anywhere (even without KVM support)
- How to do L3/4 Checksums in eBPF XDP hooks
- How to write an in-kernel filesystem (and why)
- Deduplicating memory between VMs
- Reverse Engineering the CUDA API

You can volunteer your unused compute capacity towards research projects run by Berkeley For things like discovering pulsars, studying climate change, etc.

Yessir - the price to performance ratio alone makes them exciting but once you factor in power draw it becomes a no-brainer

Here’s a demo of us migrating between spot instances across cloud providers all of which have different CPUs (generations, clock speeds, etc.)

Yep - and in those situations we can swap to a different instance type silently. We prefer that over a different region.

One of the more “impossible” problems we had to solve was migrating between different cpu types/generations seamlessly - that’s going to be the highlight of the next post.

So the nice thing about architect is that we can always fall back to on-demand instances if there’s no spot available - or we can switch to a different region, or if we’re really in a pinch we can swap to a completely different cloud provider.

Users can configure what level of fallback they want.

For sure - and we do recommend some level of overprovisioning to help against this, but because we run in your cloud account we generally only have to worry about the size of the individual customer’s workload on a per-region basis

Your mental model is spot on (no pun intended)- though to make it work across spot instances and even cloud providers we had to go far beyond the capabilities of vmotion
