Oooh, more than that, and I want to blab about it!

So in short CrowdStrike, a Cybersecurity company, more or less accidentally cyber attacked Microsoft's Cloud Services via a bugged update. Microsoft uses CrowdStrike's services for their Cloud Services, and missed the bug as well one way or another (in what I hope was an isolated check they did before uploading the updated version to their customers that happened to not have caught the fatal error.)

The update fatally corrupted Microsoft's Cloud System to such a degree that any of their customers using their Cloud Systems in their software were rendered useless.

What the lovely Dean doesn't say here is a lot of these Customers systems are whole POS systems. Aside from diners, every POS systems I've encountered since yesterday has been down and rendered useless: hotels, arcades, some general stores. Mostly it seems like bigger Customers/Companies (bigger companies are using Microsoft's Cloud Services).

Also if anyone is up for PMing me any outages they're experiencing that I don't have listed please lmk! I'm curious and would love to list.

So far I know:

Several Airlines

Several Banks

Several State's 911 lines

Several POS Systems (likely the VM issue)

Several Hospitals

TBC

(research/looking around. I don't have my computer cuz I'm stuck at an airport, but I might go through and see if I can find customer lists and get specific and otherwise update this.)

Here is a link to the Microsoft Cloud/Azure Outage report:

(This is the status history; it is the first ticket 1K80-N_8)

Here is a link to the VM (Virtual Machine) Microsoft Cloud/Azure outage that is currently still active:

5th Gen AMD EPYC and H4D Virtual Machines For Cloud HPC

Next-generation HPC-optimized H4D VMs

At Google Cloud Next, Google Cloud introduced H4D virtual machines (VMs), their latest HPC machine type. Based on HPC capabilities, H4D virtual machines (VMs) fulfil the evolving needs of demanding workloads in manufacturing, weather forecasting, EDA, healthcare, and life sciences.

H4D virtual machines run on 5th generation AMD EPYC Processors with over 950 GB/s memory bandwidth and 12,000 gflops whole-node virtual machine performance. Cloud Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) on Titanium gives H4D, the first CPU-based virtual machine, minimal latency and 200 Gbps network bandwidth. With this powerful mix, you can quickly get insights and develop HPC workloads.

H4D outperforms C3D by 1.8x per virtual machine (VM) and 1.6x per core for the open-source High-Performance Linpack (OSS-HPL), a benchmark for supercomputer floating-point computation. H4D outperforms C2D by 1.7x per core and 5.8x per virtual machine.

H4D outperforms C3D by 1.4x per core and 1.3x per VM on STREAM Triad, a memory bandwidth benchmark. H4D outperforms C2D by 1.4x per core and 3x per virtual machine.

Increased HPC application performance

H4D virtual machines (VMs) outperform AMD-based C2D and C3D in compute performance and memory bandwidth. This speeds up simulations and analysis and improves performance across a variety of HPC applications and benchmarks compared to C2D, a prior generation AMD-based HPC VM:

Manufacturing

Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+/HIMach and other CFD packages enhance 3.6x.

Ansys Fluent/f1_racecar_140 and other CFD applications enhance 3.6x.

FEA-explicit programs like Altair Radioss/T10m improve up to 3.6x.

CFD applications like OpenFoam/Motorbike_20m increase by 2.9x.

Ansys Mechanical/gearbox and other implicit FEA programs improve 2.7x.

Healthcare and life sciences:

Molecular Dynamics (GROMACS) increases five-fold.

Weather forecasting

WRFv4, an industry benchmark, improves 3.6x.

AMD's tight relationship with Google Cloud drives the next generation of cloud-based HPC with the new H4D VMs. The 5th Gen AMD EPYC CPUs' architectural advances allow Google Cloud to enhance HPC benchmark performance by a significant amount. Customers may speed up their hardest HPC jobs and get immediate insights. Corporate vice president of AMD's Cloud Business Ram Peddibhotla

Titanium Cloud RDMA accelerates HPC

These virtual machines' first Titanium offload, Cloud RDMA, boosts H4D performance. Cloud RDMA is dedicated to HPC applications including molecular dynamics, weather modelling, computational fluid dynamics, and others that require inter-node communication. Cloud RDMA outsources network processing and provides consistent, low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between compute nodes, reducing host CPU constraints.

Cloud RDMA uses Falcon hardware transport to deliver reliable, low-latency communication over Google Cloud Ethernet-based data centre networks. This effectively solves RDMA over Ethernet difficulties and provides reliable, high-performance at scale.

Since Cloud RDMA employs more computing resources than Falcon, simulations are faster. H4D gives 3.4x and 1.9x speedups on four virtual machines (VMs) via TCP for smaller CFD issues like OpenFoam/motorbike 20m and Simcenter Star-CCM+/HIMach10, which have limited inherent parallelism and are hard to accelerate.

Scheduling and clustering

Cluster Director (formerly Hypercompute Cluster) and DWS will be supported by H4D virtual machines.

DWS helps schedule HPC workloads for optimal performance and cost-effectiveness and ensures resource availability for time-sensitive simulations and flexible HPC applications.

Cluster Director can now build and scale a large, physically-colocated accelerator cluster as a single unit in HPC settings. Cluster Director simplifies HPC cluster creation and management utilising H4D virtual machines by allowing researchers to run large-scale simulations.

Virtual machine sizes and regional availability

Google Cloud offers ordinary and high-memory H4D virtual machines for various workloads. The CPU-based seismic processing and structural mechanics applications Abaqus, NASTRAN, Altair OptiStruct, and Ansys Mechanical require high-speed storage. Google Cloud offers local SSD options.

Plans are underway to expand H4D virtual machines outside Europe-West4-b (Netherlands) and the US-Central1-a (Iowa).

The history of computing is one of innovation followed by scale up which is then broken by a model that “scales out”—when a bigger and faster approach is replaced by a smaller and more numerous approaches. Mainframe->Mini->Micro->Mobile, Big iron->Distributed computing->Internet, Cray->HPC->Intel/CISC->ARM/RISC, OS/360->VMS->Unix->Windows NT->Linux, and on and on. You can see this at these macro levels, or you can see it at the micro level when it comes to subsystems from networking to storage to memory. The past 5 years of AI have been bigger models, more data, more compute, and so on. Why? Because I would argue the innovation was driven by the cloud hyperscale companies and they were destined to take the approach of doing more of what they already did. They viewed data for training and huge models as their way of winning and their unique architectural approach. The fact that other startups took a similar approach is just Silicon Valley at work—the people move and optimize for different things at a micro scale without considering the larger picture. See the sociological and epidemiological term small area variation. They look to do what they couldn’t do at their previous efforts or what the previous efforts might have been overlooking.

This lessens the complexity often involved in maintaining numerous software versions, streamlining IT processes for increased productivity.

Red Hat Virtualization

Overview

Red Hat OpenShift includes Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, an integrated platform that gives enterprises a contemporary way to run and manage their virtual machine (VM) workloads, both new and old. The system makes it simple to move and maintain conventional virtual machines to a reliable, dependable, and all-inclusive hybrid cloud application platform.

By using the speed and ease of a cloud-native application platform, OpenShift Virtualization provides a way to modernize infrastructure while maintaining the investments made in virtualization and adhering to contemporary management practices.

What advantages does Red Hat OpenShift virtualization offer?

Simple transfer: The Migration Toolkit for Virtualization that comes with Red Hat Openshift Virtualization makes it easy to move virtual machines (VMs) from different hypervisors. Even VMs can be moved to the cloud. Red Hat Services offers mentor-based advice along the route, including the Virtualization move Assessment, if you need practical assistance with your move.

Reduce the time to manufacture: Simplify application delivery and infrastructure with a platform that facilitates self-service choices and CI/CD pipeline interfaces. Developers may accelerate time to market by building, testing, and deploying workloads more quickly using Red Hat Openshift Virtualization.

Utilize a single platform to handle everything: One platform for virtual machines (VMs), containers, and serverless applications is provided by OpenShift Virtualization, simplifying operations. As a consequence, you may use a shared, uniform set of well-known corporate tools to manage all workloads and standardize the deployment of infrastructure.

A route towards modernizing infrastructure: Red Hat Openshift Virtualization allows you to operate virtual machines (VMs) that have been migrated from other platforms, allowing you to maximize your virtualization investments while using cloud-native architectures, faster operations and administration, and innovative development methodologies.

How does Red Hat OpenShift virtualization operate?

Included with every OpenShift subscription is Red Hat Openshift Virtualization. The same way they would for a containerized application, it allows infrastructure architects to design and add virtualized apps to their projects using OperatorHub.

With the help of simple, free migration tools, virtual machines already running on other platforms may be moved to the OpenShift application platform. On the same Red Hat OpenShift nodes, the resultant virtual machines will operate alongside containers.

Update your approach to virtualization

Virtualization managers need to adjust as companies adopt containerized systems and embrace digital transformation. Teams may benefit from infrastructure that enables VMs and containers to be managed by the same set of tools, on a single, unified platform, using Red Hat Openshift Virtualization.
