The exponential growth of digital information is imposing increasing scale and efficiency
demands on modern storage infrastructures. As infrastructure complexity increases, so does …

Containers offer an efficient way to run workloads as independent microservices that can be
developed, tested and deployed in an agile manner. To facilitate this process, container …

To improve resource utilization and thereby reduce costs, leading cloud infrastructure
operators such as Google and Alibaba co-locate transient batch jobs with long-running …

Object stores are becoming pervasive due to their scalability and simplicity. Their broad
adoption, however, contrasts with their rigidity for handling heterogeneous workloads and …

Warehouse-scale cloud datacenters co-locate workloads with different and often
complementary characteristics for improved resource utilization. To better understand the …

Fog and Edge computing infrastructures have been proposed as an alternative to the current
Cloud Computing facilities to address the latency issue for some applications. The main idea …

Docker container images are typically stored in a centralized registry to allow easy sharing
of images. However, with the growing popularity of containerized software, the number of …

Serverless computing has recently gained much attention as a feasible alternative to always-
on IaaS for data processing. However, existing severless frameworks are not (yet) usable …

Cloud object storage such as AWS S3 is cost-effective and highly elastic but relatively slow,
while high-performance cloud storage such as AWS ElastiCache is expensive and provides …

This paper investigates reactive elasticity in stream processing environments where the
performance goal is to analyze large amounts of data with low latency and minimum …
