Inadequate service availability is the top concern when employing Cloud computing. It has been recognized that zero downtime is impossible for large-scale Internet services. By learning from the previous and others' mistakes, nevertheless,…
Low latency and high availability of an app or a web service are key, amongst other factors, to the overall user experience (which in turn directly impacts the bottomline). Exogenic and/or endogenic factors often give rise to breakouts in…
Cloud benchmarks suffer from performance fluctuations caused by resource contention, network latency, hardware heterogeneity, and other factors along with decisions taken in the benchmark design. In particular, the sampling strategy of…
The seek for the best quality of service has led Cloud infrastructure clients to disseminate their services, contents and data over multiple cloud data-centers often involving several Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). The consequence of this…
Cloud latency has critical influences on the success of cloud applications. Therefore, characterizing cloud network performance is crucial for analyzing and satisfying different latency requirements. By focusing on the cloud's outbound…
Detecting and resolving performance anomalies in Cloud services is crucial for maintaining desired performance objectives. Scaling actions triggered by an anomaly detector help achieve target latency at the cost of extra resource…
