Cloud Container Security’ Next Move, Vishakha Sadhwani

Dissertations and Theses

In the last few years, it is apparent to cybersecurity experts everywhere that the proverbial container tech genie is out of the bottle, and has been widely embraced across multiple organizations. To achieve the flexibility of building and deploying applications anywhere and everywhere, cloud native environments have gained great momentum and made the development lifecycle simpler than ever. However, container environments brings with them a range of cybersecurity issues that includes images, containers, hosts, runtimes, registries, and orchestration platforms, which needs the necessity to focus on investing in securing your container stack.

Iot Garden Frost Alarm, Andrew James

Honors Theses

Home gardeners are faced with yearly challenges due to spring frosts harming young plants. This is frequently mitigated by covering crops with frost blankets, but only on nights when a frost is predicted. In areas with less predictable climate, an unexpected frost can kill vulnerable plants, reducing the amount of food produced. A system is proposed and designed here to use internet of things (IoT) technology to enable a small weather station in the home garden to report current climate data and predict frosts, then alert the gardener in time for them to cover their plants.

The system as designed …

Factors That Influence Throughput On Cloud-Hosted Mysql Server, Eric Brown

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Many businesses are moving their infrastructure to the cloud and may not fully understand the factors that can increase costs. With so many factors available to improve throughput in a database, it can be difficult for a database administrator to know which factors can provide the best efficiency to maintain lower costs. Grounded in Six Sigma theoretical framework, the purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental study was to evaluate the relationship between the time of day, the number of concurrent users, InnoDB buffer pool size, InnoDB Input/Output capacity, and MySQL transaction throughput to a MySQL database running on a cloud, virtual, …

Towards Data And Model Confidentiality In Outsourced Machine Learning, Sagar Sharma

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

With massive data collections and needs for building powerful predictive models, data owners may choose to outsource storage and expensive machine learning computations to public cloud providers (Cloud). Data owners may choose cloud outsourcing due to the lack of in-house storage and computation resources or the expertise of building models. Similarly, users, who subscribe to specialized services such as movie streaming and social networking, voluntarily upload their data to the service providers' site for storage, analytics, and better services. The service provider, in turn, may also choose to benefit from ubiquitous cloud computing. However, outsourcing to a public cloud provider …
