  • Touchless and Always-On Cloud Analytics As a Service 1. Introduction
    Touchless and Always-on Cloud Analytics as a Service S. Suneja, C. Isci, R. Koller, E. de Lara Despite modern advances in automation and managed services, many end users of cloud services remain concerned with regards to the lack of visibility into their operational environments. The underlying principles of existing approaches employed to aid users gain transparency into their runtimes, do not apply to today’s dynamic cloud environment where virtual machines (VMs) and containers operate as processes of the cloud operating system (OS). We present Near Field Monitoring (NFM), a cloud-native framework for monitoring cloud systems and providing operational analytics services. With NFM, we employ cloud, virtualization, and containerization abstractions to provide complete visibility into running entities in the cloud, in a touchless manner, i.e., without modifying, instrumenting or accessing inside the end user context. Operating outside the context of the target systems enables always-on monitoring independent of their health. Using an NFM implementation on OpenStack, we demonstrate the capabilities of NFM, as well as its monitoring accuracy and efficiency. NFM is highly practical and general, supporting more than 1000 different system distributions, allowing instantaneous monitoring as soon as a guest system gets hosted on the cloud, without any setup prerequisites or enforced cooperation. 1. Introduction Emerging cloud services enable end users to define and provision complex, distributed applications and their compute resources with unprecedented

In particular, we focus on network transparency of the execution environment, preemption and migration of of non-interactive programs. remotely executed programs, and avoidance of residual dependencies on the original host. We argue that Use of idle workstations as computation servers increases preemptable remote execution allows idle workstations to be used as a "pool of processors" without interfering with use by the processing power available to users and improves the their owners and without significant overhead for the normal utilization of the hardware base. However, this use must not execution of programs.

Abstract With the huge development in the field of data storing and processing as well as the impending development of the internet, accessing information and resources is becoming faster, cheaper and more available. This has paved the way for a new development in the world of computing, networks and operating systems, which is “Cloud Computing”. In this project, we present a solution for the problem of secure data sharing in a safe and dynamic way on Public Cloud. The process is done without re-encrypting the shared data or re-distributing keys as the case in most solutions so far. Also, include a step towards the completion of access control UCON, where we studied the ability for a user to delegate another user OWNER role and sharing data authorization.
