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.
