We’re embarking on ambitious new initiatives such as building high performance primitives, frameworks to support OCI developers, and a new container runtime that will allow us to run the full variety of OCI services, including our most demanding tier one services. We’re also working on new ingenuities such as providing canonical implementation of core components for data planes, developing a remote persistent storage solution with the latency and performance comparable to that of local NVMe drives, and developing standards and tools to identify critical performance improvements across OCI data-planes. We are hoping to enhance engineering efficiency by concentrating our expertise on building low level systems with high performance that can be adopted by our core cloud services across OCI.
