The Future is Here – How advances in hardware are changing the landscape for cloud computing
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2023-06-29

For years the limitations in cloud design were found mostly on the hardware side, with slow storage, high CPU cost, and expensive networking gear.

Recently the picture has radically changed. Magnetic storage became obsolete. High core count CPUs are common. Everything is bound together with much faster networking. GPUs and smart NICs have left the status as niche products. 

However, these improvements pose new design challenges. Bottlenecks have not disappeared but are found in unexpected places. Finding the sweet spot of hardware design, cloud size, resilience of applications to node failure, and storage optimization still depends on the skill of the architect. 

We will discuss approaches to design for large and small OpenStack clouds, software defined storage, and latency sensitive cloud workloads. A foray into budget conscious design will help the participant build more with less and to determine how greenfield deployment and reuse fare in terms of TCO and risk
