Undersea bandwidth demand continues to increase for large-scale cloud providers, driven by phenomenal growth of cloud services and the globally distributed nature of data centers. To efficiently meet this demand, cloud providers have driven the open cable system (OCS) concept. In this talk, we discuss Microsoft’s approach to undersea cable systems and the evolution from complex closed systems to simple, efficient open cable systems.

Welcome to the world of nanoservices: smaller than a microservice, bigger than a function, they are the perfect unit of software. Nanoservices are flexible, manageable, and scalable and a great way to do serverless computing. Matthew Clark explains how to get nanoservices right, drawing on his experience at the BBC, which now has over a thousand in production.
