Microservices Validation: Methodology and Implementation

Due to the wide spread of cloud computing, arises actual question about architecture, design and implementation of cloud applications. The microservice model describes the design and development of loosely coupled cloud applications when computing resources are provided on the basis of automated IaaS and PaaS cloud platforms. Such applications consist of hundreds and thousands of service instances, so automated validation and testing of cloud applications developed on the basis of microservice model is a pressing issue. There are constantly developing new methods of testing both individual microservices and cloud applications at a whole. This article presents our vision of a framework for the validation of the microservice cloud applications, providing an integrated approach for the implementation of various testing methods of such applications, from basic unit tests to continuous stability testing

MultiLibOS: an OS architecture for cloud computing

Cloud computing is resulting in fundamental changes to computing infrastructure, yet these changes have not resulted in corresponding changes to operating systems. In this paper we discuss some key changes we see in the computing infrastructure and applications of IaaS systems. We argue that these changes enable and demand a very different model of operating system. We then describe the MulitLibOS architecture we are exploring and how it helps exploit the scale and elasticity of integrated systems while still allowing for legacy software run on traditional OSes

Improved scheduling algorithm in cloud environment

Scheduling in cloud computing is a technique which is used to improve the overall execution time of the job. A good scheduling algorithm can help in load balancing as well. Scheduling in cloud can be be done in three areas i.e Scheduling Cloudlets within the virtual machine, Scheduling Virtual Machine on the host, and scheduling cloudlets to the Virtual Machine. The last scheduling i.e scheduling the cloudlets to the virtual machine is implemented in this thesis. In this the cloudlets are intelligently scheduled to the best possible virtual machine so that the overall execution time can be reduced. The outcome proves that the proposed algorithm gives better result in comparison to the already used sequential algorithm

Privacy Preservation in Analyzing E-Health Records in Big Data Environment

Increased use of the Internet and progress in Cloud computing creates a large new datasets with increasing value to business. Data need to be processed by cloud applications are emerging much faster than the computing power. Hadoop-MapReduce has become powerful computation model to address these problems. Nowadays many cloud services require users to share their confidential data like electronic health records for research analysis or data mining, which brings privacy concerns. K-anonymity is one of the widely used privacy model. The scale of data in cloud applications rises extremely in agreement with the Big Data tendency, thereby creating it a dispute for conventional software tools to process such large scale data within an endurable lapsed time. As a consequence, it is a dispute for current anonymization techniques to preserve privacy on confidential extensible data sets due to their inadequacy of scalability. In this project, we propose an extensible two-phase approach to anonymize scalable data sets using dynamic MapReduce framework, Top Down Specialization (TDS) Algorithm and k-Anonymity privacy model. The resources are optimized via three key aspects. First, the under-utilization of map and reduce tasks is improved based on Dynamic Hadoop Slot Allocation (DHSA). Second, the performance tradeoff between the single job and a batch of jobs is balanced using the Speculative Execution Performance Balancing (SEPB). Third, data locality can be improved without any impact on fairness using Slot Pre Scheduling. Experimental evaluation results demonstrate that with this project, the scalability, efficiency and privacy of data sets can be significantly improved over existing approaches.
