❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How does Hyperion eliminate Linux cloud CPU throttling cliffs stalls?
Default standard cloud multi-tenant schedulers enforces rigid cloud quota windows. When a container bursts, it exhausts its quota in 20ms and is throttled for the remaining 80ms, creating severe latency cliffs. Hyperion uses autonomous microsecond pacing to smooth CPU allocations dynamically, eliminating 99.4% of artificial scheduler latency cliffs while strictly honoring multi-tenant isolation.
What is the Pre-Crash Flight Recorder?
Hyperion captures a high-resolution ring buffer of the final 10 milliseconds of process memory, thread states, and system calls before an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) or SIGKILL termination occurs. This gives engineering teams instant post-mortem root-cause diagnostics without needing to reproduce catastrophic crashes in production.
How does Hyperion recover orphaned cloud storage and idle AWS resources?
Hyperion continuously scans host block devices, detached EBS volumes, zombie container namespaces, and dormant memory allocations. In verified production deployments, it reclaims an average of $18.60/month per host in wasted cloud infrastructure.
Does Hyperion require application refactoring or custom kernel patches?
No. Hyperion operates as a non-invasive userspace control daemon paired with standard Autonomous Kernel-Accelerated probes. It runs on stock Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 and Amazon Linux 2023 kernels with zero application code changes.
Can Hyperion enforce Storage I/O QoS across competing tenants?
Yes. Hyperion monitors disk I/O latency and enforces fair token-bucket rate limits on noisy tenants, preventing a single heavy batch query from starving user-facing transaction latency.
What is the commercial pricing for Hyperion?
Hyperion is licensed as an on-premises node license at $1,500/host/year, delivering an average 4.2x ROI in direct cloud compute and storage savings.
