Re:Farewell EC2-Classic, it’s been swell on Friday September 01, 2023 @11:59AM (#37352468)
You are right, it was a typo. It should have been 10.0.0.0/8. Updated that in the blog, also resolved a confusion about the memory in a P3dn.24xlarge.

Thanks for your critical reading!

Amazon has been building technology based on ML&DL for over 20 years and has developed several frameworks. You must have missed the announcement of this open source framework earlier in the year: https://github.com/amznlabs/amazon-dsstne.

Can you elaborate on the intra- inter-* latencies your are seeing? for AZ independent services this should single digits.

No mesos under the hood. You can bring mesos as your own scheduler.

You can choose eventual or fully consistent in DynamoDB. Given that full consistency comes at a higher cost (read from a quorum of replicas) we expose that cost to you.

BTW nobody wants eventual consistency, it is a fact of live among many trade-offs. I would rather not expose it but it comes with other advantages ...

Nope, we have built a new scheduler for you that will allow placement over multiple AZ's, replace failed containers, allow them to connect to ELB's, etc.
