  • Distributing an SQL Query Over a Cluster of Containers
    2019 IEEE 12th International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD) Distributing an SQL Query Over a Cluster of Containers David Holland∗ and Weining Zhang† Department of Computer Science, University of Texas at San Antonio Email: ∗[email protected], †[email protected] Abstract—Emergent software container technology is now across a cluster of containers in a cloud. A feasibility study available on any cloud and opens up new opportunities to execute of this with performance analysis is reported in this paper. and scale data intensive applications wherever data is located. A containerized query (henceforth CQ) uses a deployment However, many traditional relational databases hosted on clouds have not scaled well. In this paper, a framework and deployment methodology that is unique to each query with respect to the methodology to containerize relational SQL queries is presented, number of containers and their networked topology effecting so that, a single SQL query can be scaled and executed by data flows. Furthermore a CQ can be scaled at run-time a network of cooperating containers, achieving intra-operator by adding more intra-operators. In contrast, the traditional parallelism and other significant performance gains. Results of distributed database query deployment configurations do not container prototype experiments are reported and compared to a real-world RDBMS baseline. Preliminary result on a research change at run-time, i.e., they are static and applied to all cloud shows up to 3-orders of magnitude performance gain for queries. Additionally, traditional distributed databases often some queries when compared to running the same query on a need to rewrite an SQL query to optimize performance.

  • Static Vulnerability Analysis of Docker Images
    DEGREE PROJECT FOR MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING COMPUTER SECURITY Static Vulnerability Analysis of Docker Images Michael Falk | Oscar Henriksson Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden, 2017 Supervisor: Emiliano Casalicchio, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, BTH Abstract Docker is a popular tool for virtualization that allows for fast and easy deployment of applications and has been growing increasingly popular among companies. Docker also include a large library of images from the repository Docker Hub which mainly is user created and uncontrolled. This leads to low frequency of updates which results in vulnerabilities in the images. In this thesis we are developing a tool for determining what vulnerabilities that exists inside Docker images with a Linux distribution. This is done by using our own tool for downloading and retrieving the necessary data from the images and then utilizing Outpost24’s scanner for finding vulnerabilities in Linux packages. With the help of this tool we also publish statistics of vulnerabilities from the top downloaded images of Docker Hub. The result is a tool that can successfully scan a Docker image for vulnerabilities in certain Linux distributions. From a survey over the top 1000 Docker images it has also been shown that the amount of vulnerabilities have increased in comparison to earlier surveys of Docker images. Keywords: Docker, Containerization, Vulnerability analysis, Vulnerability scanning i Sammanfattning Docker är ett populärt verktyg för virtualisering som används för att snabbt och enkelt sätta upp applikationer och har vuxit sig populärt bland företag. Docker inkluderar även ett stort bibliotek av images från datakatalogen Docker Hub vilket huvudsakligen består av användarskapat och okontrollerat innehåll.

  • Hypervisors Vs. Lightweight Virtualization: a Performance Comparison
    2015 IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering Hypervisors vs. Lightweight Virtualization: a Performance Comparison Roberto Morabito, Jimmy Kjällman, and Miika Komu Ericsson Research, NomadicLab Jorvas, Finland [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract — Virtualization of operating systems provides a container and alternative solutions. The idea is to quantify the common way to run different services in the cloud. Recently, the level of overhead introduced by these platforms and the lightweight virtualization technologies claim to offer superior existing gap compared to a non-virtualized environment. performance. In this paper, we present a detailed performance The remainder of this paper is structured as follows: in comparison of traditional hypervisor based virtualization and Section II, literature review and a brief description of all the new lightweight solutions. In our measurements, we use several technologies and platforms evaluated is provided. The benchmarks tools in order to understand the strengths, methodology used to realize our performance comparison is weaknesses, and anomalies introduced by these different platforms in terms of processing, storage, memory and network. introduced in Section III. The benchmark results are presented Our results show that containers achieve generally better in Section IV. Finally, some concluding remarks and future performance when compared with traditional virtual machines work are provided in Section V. and other recent solutions. Albeit containers offer clearly more dense deployment of virtual machines, the performance II. BACKGROUND AND RELATED WORK difference with other technologies is in many cases relatively small. In this section, we provide an overview of the different technologies included in the performance comparison.

  • Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS, FLOSS, Or FOSS)? Look at the Numbers!
    Translations available: Czech | French | Japanese | Spanish Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS)? Look at the Numbers! David A. Wheeler http://www.dwheeler.com/contactme.html Revised as of July 18, 2015 This paper (and its supporting database) provides quantitative data that, in many cases, using open source software / free software (abbreviated as OSS/FS, FLOSS, or FOSS) is a reasonable or even superior approach to using their proprietary competition according to various measures. This paper’s goal is to show that you should consider using OSS/FS when acquiring software. This paper examines popularity, reliability, performance, scalability, security, and total cost of ownership. It also has sections on non-quantitative issues, unnecessary fears, OSS/FS on the desktop, usage reports, governments and OSS/FS, other sites providing related information, and ends with some conclusions. An appendix gives more background information about OSS/FS. You can view this paper at http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html (HTML format). A short presentation (briefing) based on this paper is also available. Palm PDA users may wish to use Plucker to view this longer report. Old archived copies and a list of changes are also available. 1. Introduction Open Source Software / Free Software (aka OSS/FS), also described as Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), has risen to great prominence. Briefly, FLOSS programs are programs whose licenses give users the freedom to run the program for any purpose, to study and modify the program, and to redistribute copies of either the original or modified program (without having to pay royalties to previous developers).
