Extending Java applications to directly access files in Amazon S3 without recompiling
The Java programming language has been among the most used languages in software development for many years, and a vast number of Java applications exist today. Almost all applications interact with files in some way, yet most of these have been written to interact with a file system based on block storage and cannot directly […]
Best practices for monitoring Amazon FSx for Lustre clients and file systems
Lustre is a high-performance parallel file system commonly used in workloads requiring throughput up to hundreds of GB/s and sub-millisecond per-operation latencies, such as machine learning (ML), high performance computing (HPC), video processing, and financial modelling. Amazon FSx for Lustre provides fully managed shared storage with the scalability and performance of the popular Lustre file […]
Understanding Direct Network Interfaces on AWS Snow Family
To leverage the benefits of modern software development and automation, the telecommunications industry (telco) commonly employs containerized network functions (NF). The containerized environment demands certain requirements from the underlying infrastructure as opposed to a legacy monolithic IT workload. For example, a single network interface is reused for multiple workflows: network operations and maintenance (O&M) traffic, […]
Performance analysis for different Amazon EFS throughput modes via Amazon CloudWatch
When I talk with customers about their file storage, I frequently get asked “How can I determine the right throughput capacity for my file storage?” The simple answer is through monitoring the performance of your workload to determine the right performance configuration for your file storage.
