TOPIC ABSTRACT
SLAing QoS
Most engineers have followed the recent AWS outage on October 20th. Most do not realize how serious, how frequently or how common these types of outages are. Analyzing the AWS outage and looking at how one can protect oneself or one’s organization from the impact of similar outages will be an increasingly valuable skill as the industry moves more and more to the cloud. Everything from libraries, applications, Software-as-a-Service, platform/cloud, and networks connectivity (ISP) have SLAs. We will be going beyond the analysis of the AWS outage and investigating how to improve your success rate with better hardware designs, software designs, and contract protection. We will look at both the perspectives of those using services as well as those providing services.
