What is this all about

What has been going on?

  • Chips have been getting faster
    • Kind of topped out due to physics, but science advances all the time.
  • Instead, chips have been getting bigger
    • Adding Cores only makes properly architected systems faster, so what to do with all of those extra cores?

Virtualization

  • Makes programmers happy, because we can just say "restart the vm" rather than try to debug that old, poorly written program
  • Makes administrators happy because we no longer need a dedicated server for that old, poorly written program written program that only runs on centos 3.
  • Makes Money people happy
