Commoditize Your Complement, cloud infra edition

DC Systems #3 registration is now available. Got 3 speakers this time from Loophole Labs UMD Department of Computer Science and Antithesis. dcsystems.xyz

Who else is going #AWS Re:Invent next week? if you're around, would love to meet up to talk about virtualization, live-migration, and WebAssembly -- hmu :)

Who’s going to be at #AWSreInvent in Las Vegas next week? If folks are around I’d love meet up and talk about VMs (like running them on non-metal instances), #ebpf, and live migration (for VMs and GPUs)! DMs Open!

Want to save 90% on your #aws compute costs? Shivansh Vij Dan Phillips and Trezy 💫 will be at #AWSreInvent this week helping customers move their stateful workloads (databases, data pipelines, CI/CD, etc.) to Spot Instances without any downtime! Come hang out with us!

Last night we hosted the third DC Systems. Thanks to all 3 speakers: Shivansh Vij, Alperen Keleş, and Paul Ryan.

New blog post! Run any application on Spot Instances with zero downtime and 75%+ cost savings - and no code changes required. Architect eliminates the reliability concerns that previously made Spot Instances impractical for production workloads. ⬇️ Link in comments ⬇️

truly remarkable tech from Loophole Labs here... you can live migrate any workload to any compute, anywhere, in production, without downtime and without code modification! magic.

The most excited thing about this blog post is the one we get to publish next - a deep dive into how Architect actually works. There were so many “impossible” problems we had to solve to make Architect a reality - and now that we have I’m having a blast explaining how we did it.

.Loophole Labs has built some of the most brain-melting tech I've seen in recent years. If you want the cheapest compute possible and unlock true application portability you have to check out architect.run

hard to overstate how fascinating it was solving these problems internally -- watching the team at Loophole Labs work through each dimension was truly inspiring, and continues to be. if you are interested in depth-first systems engineering, lmk! too many cool things to discuss

Architect directly disassembles a raft of seemingly unchallengeable assumptions, and eliminates entire classes of problems. check it out!

Request: Topics for the Loophole Labs Blog I want to start posting some short-form blogs that go through the technical challenges of building Loophole Labs and how we’ve solved them. If folks have requests for content they’d like covered now’s the time to ask! Topics I have

- How to run VMs anywhere (even without KVM support) - How to do L3/4 Checksums in eBPF XDP hooks - How to write an in-kernel filesystem (and why) - Deduplicating memory between VMs - Reverse Engineering the CUDA API

honestly, we've done so much cooking, with so little time to talk about it. stay tuned 👇

might be biased, but i think the work we are doing at Loophole Labs with eBPF is among some of the most interesting use-cases in the entire space youtube.com/watch?v=Y_C4Ti…

What if we could pick up a k8s cluster and move it w/out service disruption? We demo’d this at Kubecon NA 2024 by moving a kubernetes cluster running Valkey from AWS to Azure and then GCP all without disruption! This is pure magic from Felicitas Pojtinger 🌅 loopholelabs.io/blog/zero-down…

if you're in Vancouver next month, highly recommend you stop by to hear from Shivansh Vij that morning. also might be able to catch him in the hallway to hear about a thing or two we're up to at Loophole Labs
