It's a shared medium, as is internet via cable. The 100MB/s or whatever they'll offer will be the peak throughput you can achieve. Aside from that they already have plans to send up 30.000 more satellites [1] and of course fu

That's why I quoted 7nm. I'm aware of the process differences and Intel's severe and continuing problems with their 10nm process. My point being that if you want to compare a state-of-the-art ARM CPU, you should compare it to

Those are AMD Epyc 1 CPU's, which are built using a 14nm process at GlobalFoundries. Epyc 2 CPU's, which are significantly faster, are announced to be available at AWS in future, but aren't yet.

pfSense is a completely different product and not related to OpenWrt at all. It even isn't based on Linux, but on FreeBSD.

3G phones are unfortunately no better choice than 2G phones, because the 3G networks of most operators will be not running much longer than their 2G networks. Here in Europe operators often even plan to shut down their 3G networks prior to

Well, you can, but only 2G dumb phones. So they'll stop working wherever 2G networks get shut off for good. If you want a more future-proof 4G phone, even the "dumb" phones are actually pretty smart. Most of them come with Li

That's actually one of the caveats that comes with unlimited scalability: You must design your application to not require full table scans.

Just to make sure: You're talking about the same Aurora Serverless which consists of a single database server instance in a single availability zone without any guarantees regarding availability in case the availability zone goes down?

by Dunedan 7y ago
An AWS region consists of several availability zones (AZ's) which consist of several data centers running AWS' hardware. Each region is designed in a way that services provided by it can tolerate the loss of a availability zone.

That feels like they used the ground work laid with AWS Outposts to enable such smaller auxiliary local zones as well: In both cases the control plane still resides in the "real" region, but the data plane for a local zone and an
