@flipkartsupport @Flipkart I already shared it in your DMs

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

Ordered a pair of clogs from @Flipkart on Jul 12. ETA was Jul 14, then delayed to 16, 18, 19, and now 20! Every support call blames @shadowfax_in and says "issue escalated," but nothing changes. No delivery attempt, just copy-paste replies. What is going on? Do you even care?

@_Creation22 He was not in oracle ig , he was Oracle DBA. Propbably that role has higher supply than demand.

@NammaBESCOM Honestly, you guys are a genius-level anti-theft deterrent. Can’t steal electricity if there’s no electricity to steal, right? it's the most effective security system I've ever seen

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

@NammaBESCOM No power in Marathahalli, ckb layout.
Whats happening??? every day there's power outages in working hours , are we living in farm or what ??

What is the timeline please be clear ?

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

@NammaBESCOM @VenkyReddy0708 You mean we will have an outage till 8:00pm today ?? This is insane

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

That’s why this approach works well for serverless platforms.

You get something close to container speed, but with a real virtualization boundary.

Enough isolation to run multi-tenant workloads safely.

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

Why not full-featured VMs?
Because they optimize for a different lifecycle:
- hotplug devices
- live migration
- long-lived instances
- complex device models
All of that adds flexibility, but also latency and state.

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

For short-lived compute (functions, CI runners), you want the opposite:

predictable boot

minimal state

fast teardown

tight isolation

Small VM shapes fit that better.

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

The machine model is intentionally narrow:
1. minimal virtio devices
2. no broad hardware emulation
3. fixed boot path
4. separate guest kernel
That keeps startup fast and reduces the attack surface.

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

Under the hood it still looks like a VM lifecycle:
open hypervisor → create VM → map guest memory → create vCPUs → load guest kernel → run → teardown
The difference is how little is exposed.

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE @030Arnab]

“Serverless” didn’t remove servers.
It changed the unit of compute.
The shift was making VMs small and fast enough to use per request, per job, per workflow.

@Rishikesh04code Great to hear, I'm a platform engineer, if you need any suggestions we can collab.

@archiexzzz 11/10 , where coffee and nicotine? Where's caffeine and nicotine? How do you do so much insane brainwork without substance abuse 😭
