Le cloud, vache à lait d’Amazon et secteur encore en devenir pour Google
▻https://www.lesechos.fr/tech-medias/hightech/le-cloud-vache-a-lait-damazon-et-secteur-encore-en-devenir-pour-google-1286

Le groupe dirigé par Sundar Pichai a publié, mardi pour la première fois, le détail de ses résultats dans le stockage et le traitement des données en ligne : une perte d’exploitation de 5,3 milliards l’an dernier pour un métier encore en phase d’investissement. Le patron d’AWS, Andy Jessy, qui va succéder à Jeff Bezos à la tête d’Amazon, a réalisé, de son côté, près des deux tiers du résultat net du distributeur l’an dernier. Le cloud est visiblement un secteur porteur. C’est au patron de la division cloud (...)

How AWS and Other Cloud Providers Became the Internet’s Most Powerful Moderators - Owen Williams

In another era, Parler would have owned its servers—and remained online When Amazon Web Services decided to stop hosting the alt-right social network Parler last week following the insurrection at the Capitol, it looked like the site was doomed to go offline. Migrating an app successfully between cloud providers, and ensuring it works on the other side as expected, is hard enough. But moving the vast amounts of data associated with a social network (likely hundreds of terabytes of (...)

Unless you’ve been living under a rock—an impossibly cozy, privileged, particle-filtering rock—2020 has probably opened your eyes to how far we still have to go to achieve a truly fair society. COVID-19 has revealed and reinforced existing oppression, inequality, and vulnerability, from systemic racism and a lack of affordable healthcare to a spike in domestic violence. And if like me, you’ve been lucky enough to comfortably and non-essentially continue working from home, safe, knowing if you (...)

The Microsoft Police State : Mass Surveillance, Facial Recognition, and the Azure Cloud

Nationwide protests against racist policing have brought new scrutiny onto big tech companies like Facebook, which is under boycott by advertisers over hate speech directed at people of color, and Amazon, called out for aiding police surveillance. But Microsoft, which has largely escaped criticism, is knee-deep in services for law enforcement, fostering an ecosystem of companies that provide police with software using Microsoft’s cloud and other platforms.

Le système de santé britannique offre ses trésors aux géants de la tech, notamment à la firme de Peter Thiel. Afin de gérer l’épidémie de Covid-19, de nombreux pays se sont tournés vers des solutions technologiques de tracing pour enrayer la propagation du virus. La France a décidé de développer elle-même son application, StopCovid, disponible depuis le 2 juin. De son côté, le Royaume-Uni s’est tourné vers des géants de la tech.

One of the primary motivations for using the cloud are flexibility and cost saving. The problem is that without ongoing management and oversight, the cloud budget can grow to dimensions that eliminate profitability.A recent study on the cost of using the cloud has shown that companies pay an average of 35% more on cloud services than they really should. A total of over $60 billion is being wasted on cloud services that are not in use.In this article, I will share my conclusions from recent cloud cost optimization processes and review a number of ways and tools to significantly reduce cloud costs 30–50%, without sacrificing performance. The recommendations in this article are valid for all cloud vendors unless otherwise specified.Tools for managing cloud costsBefore you start saving it is (...)

I wrote a lot about cold starts of #serverless functions. The articles are full of charts and numbers which are hopefully useful but might be hard to internalize. I decided to come up with a way to represent colds starts visually.I created HTTP functions that serve geographic maps (map credit Open Street Map). The map is a combination of small square tiles; each tile is 256 by 256 pixels. My selected map view consists of 12 tiles, so 12 requests are made to the serverless function to load a single view.During each experiment, I load the map and then zoom-in three times. The very first view hits the function in a cold state. Subsequently, the zoomed views are loaded from the warm function. There is a timer next to the map which shows the total time elapsed since the beginning until the (...)

This is a part of my “Journey with Azure” seriesI have always been fascinated by managed services and #serverless computing. It started with my first startup PureMetics, where we used AppEngine and BigQuery to built an Analytics product. Because both AppEngine and BigQuery were fully managed services, A single person (Abhishek Nandi) was able to build the entire tech for it. Later on when Abhishek & I were building Odiocast, we used other managed services to keep things simple. FireBase, AWS Lambdas and other services allowed us to worry more about the product rather than worry about Devops as a 2 person startup.The logic is simple when you have the best technology companies willing to be your Devops team, at a cost, why would you say no? You would then have time to focus on what makes (...)

No one wants to buy into faltering products that are here today and gone tomorrow and the same is true of businesses with regard to their IT infrastructure. Given the productivity dependencies, a traditionally slow rate of return, and steep financial burden of IT infrastructure, CTOs and the like around the world often look to key performance indicators (KPI) including revenue, profitability, customer counts, and so forth, much like a prospective shareholder, in order to anticipate the viability of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) platforms such as AWS and Azure prior to making long-term investments in them.For example, if a service provider is breaking close to even or operating at a loss after 8 years, this could be indicative of operational inefficiencies, architectural (...)
