Description
The AWS Nitro System serves as the backbone for the newest generation of Amazon EC2 instances, enabling quicker innovation, cost reductions for users, and improved security along with the introduction of new instance types. By rethinking virtualization infrastructure, AWS has transferred essential functions like CPU, storage, and networking virtualization to specialized hardware and software, thus freeing up nearly all server resources for use by instances. This innovative architecture includes several essential components: Nitro Cards, which accelerate and offload I/O tasks for services such as VPC, EBS, and instance storage; the Nitro Security Chip, which minimizes the attack surface and restricts administrative access to prevent human error and tampering; and the Nitro Hypervisor, a streamlined hypervisor that efficiently manages memory and CPU allocation, providing performance that closely resembles that of bare metal systems. Furthermore, the modular nature of the Nitro System facilitates the swift introduction of new EC2 instance types, enhancing the overall agility of AWS services. Overall, this comprehensive approach positions AWS to continue leading in cloud innovation and resource optimization.
Description
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume offers customers dependable and high-performance block storage, compatible with various virtual machines and bare metal setups. These Block Volumes come with inherent redundancy, ensuring they remain persistent and durable even after a virtual machine ceases to function, and can be scaled up to 1 PB for each compute instance. Each volume is designed for durability and operates on redundant hardware, thereby providing exceptional reliability. Users can back up both block and boot volumes to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage, allowing for regular recovery checkpoints. Moreover, they can efficiently manage storage size without the limitations of provisioning. Existing block and boot volumes can be extended from 50 GB up to 32 TB while still online, ensuring there is no disruption to applications and workloads. Additionally, it is possible to clone existing volumes or restore from backups, facilitating the transition to larger volumes. This cloning process can be executed without the need to first initiate a backup and restore, streamlining the overall management of storage resources.
