Presentation: "Keeping Movies Running Amid Thunderstorms!"
Time:
Thursday 14:05 - 15:05
Location:
Metropolitan Ballroom II & III
Abstract:
In 2008, Netflix began to see traction in its new mode of video
delivery -- video streaming to devices in the home and in your pocket.
As part of this transition, we are witnessing a shift in our traffic
patterns and in the expectations of our customers regarding
availability. Specifically, as we become indistinguishable from TV, we
cannot afford service downtimes, planned or otherwise. To complicate
matters further, our systems operate in AWS, where we have less
control over networking, persistence, virtualization, etc... In an
effort to build a highly-available system using a
sometimes-unavailable cloud, Netflix must adopt new deployment
paradigms and new ways of testing reliability. From red-black
deployments to the Simian army to reliable Cassandra clusters to new
features in our platfrom service layer and more, we are investing in
reliability across the board.
