2017 Year in review: Data centers

What this post added

This post details the expansion of Meta's data center fleet in 2017 with four new locations and expansions at existing sites. It highlights the continued innovation in hardware, including the introduction of Bryce Canyon (storage chassis), Big Basin (AI hardware), Tioga Pass (CPU server), and Yosemite v2 (compute platform). A major technical achievement was the migration of the user database from InnoDB to MyRocks, which reduced server and storage requirements by half. The post also reiterates the commitment to powering data centers with 100% clean and renewable energy.
