The Back-to-Basics Readings of 2012 by Werner Vogels (CTO – Amazon.com).
From the post:
After the AWS re: Invent conference I spent two weeks in Europe for the last customer visits of the year. I have since returned and am now in New York City enjoying a few days of winding down the last activities of the year before spending the holidays here with family. Do not expect too many blog posts or twitter updates. Although there are still a few very exciting AWS news updates to happen this year.
I thought this was a good moment to collect all the readings I suggested this year in one summary post. It was not until later in the year that I started to recording the readings here on the blog, so I hope this is indeed the complete list. I am pretty sure some if not all of these papers deserved to be elected to the hall of fame of best papers in distributed systems.
…
My count is twenty-four (24) papers. More than enough for a weekend at the beach! 😉
I first saw this in a tweet by Computer Science.
