Abstract In recent years, container-based cloud virtualization solutions have emerged to mitigate the performance gap between non-virtualized and virtualized physical resources. However, there is a noticeable absence of techniques for predicting microservice performance in current research, which impacts cloud service users’ ability to determine when to provision or de-provision microservices. Predicting microservice performance poses challenges due to overheads associated with actions such as variations in processing time caused by resource contention, which potentially leads to user confusion. In this paper, we propose, develop, and validate a probabilistic architecture named Microservice Performance Diagnosis and Prediction (MPDP). MPDP… More >

Abstract Advancements in cloud computing and virtualization technologies have revolutionized Enterprise Application Development with innovative ways to design and develop complex systems. Microservices Architecture is one of the recent techniques in which Enterprise Systems can be developed as fine-grained smaller components and deployed independently. This methodology brings numerous benefits like scalability, resilience, flexibility in development, faster time to market, etc. and the advantages; Microservices bring some challenges too. Multiple microservices need to be invoked one by one as a chain. In most applications, more than one chain of microservices runs in parallel to complete a particular… More >

Abstract Cloud computing has gained significant use over the last decade due to its several benefits, including cost savings associated with setup, deployments, delivery, physical resource sharing across virtual machines, and availability of on-demand cloud services. However, in addition to usual threats in almost every computing environment, cloud computing has also introduced a set of new threats as consumers share physical resources due to the physical co-location paradigm. Furthermore, since there are a growing number of attacks directed at cloud environments (including dictionary attacks, replay code attacks, denial of service attacks, rootkit attacks, code injection attacks,… More >
