Ric Wheeler, Red Hat
2009 IEEE Reynold B. Johnson Information Storage Systems Award
Sponsored by the IBM Almaden Research Center
Keynote Address: Cloud Storage FUD (Failure, Uncertainty, and Durability)
by Alyssa Henry, General Manager of Amazon Simple Storage (S3)
Failure and uncertainty play a key role when engineering a general purpose online storage system to be durable, available, scalable, and cost effective. I'll share some of the uncertainty we've encountered and the impact of that uncertainty on the design of the system. I'll also cover some of the hardware and network failures we've encountered, others that we anticipate occurring, and how we've engineered Amazon S3 to be resilient to them.
