Cloud computing, a highly flexible deployment model is emerging because of enhancing interdependence of business and IT. Effective and efficient resource sharing, interconnecting between people, department and companies is possible because of this emerging technology. Cloud computing also provides a stable environment where Telcos can improve business outcomes by leveraging their experience in offering IT centric managed services. Though not without its flaws, cloud computing looks to change the way companies do business in the near future.
Cloud computing is Internet based development and use of computer technology. It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them. Cloud computing is a hot topic all over the world nowadays, through which customers can access information and computer power via a web browser. As the adoption and deployment of cloud computing increase, it is critical to evaluate the performance of cloud environments. Currently, modeling and simulation technology has become a useful and powerful tool in cloud computing research community to deal with these issues. Cloud simulators are required for cloud system testing to decrease the complexity and separate quality concerns. Cloud computing means saving and accessing the data over the internet instead of local storage. In this paper, we have provided a short review on the types, models and architecture of the cloud environment.
In cloud computing IT (Information Technology) related resources like infrastructure, platform and software can be utilized using web based tools and application through internet. Here Organizations are moving to the cloud computing some faster than others. However, moving to the cloud presents the organization with a number of risks to assess. Information security is the most critical risk for many organizations. This is because the intellectual property, trade secrets, personally identifiable information,
or other sensitive information can be powered by protecting information. This paper classified cloud
security based on the three service models of cloud computing SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. Attributes for each
type of security has also identified and briefly described here. We compared securities provided in different
services by world's best known cloud service providing companies such as Amazon AWS, Google App Engine, Windows Azure etc. considering cloud security category. Furthermore, we included recommendations for organizations who have decided to move their data into the cloud, but confused to choose the best service provider for their organization regarding information security.
This presentation will provide you with all the information, you need to know about cloud computing. It will give a description of cloud computing and related issues from top to bottom with lots of survey results, definitions from different white papers and security concerns from worth mentioning research papers.

This benchmark is the result of the collaboration between Burstorm and Rice University and uses a high degree of automation. The scope of the first benchmark is seven suppliers across three continents with a total of 96 different instance types. The benchmark was executed every day, for at least 15 days. The results are normalized to a monthly pricing model to establish the price-performance metrics.
Cloud Computing is an information technology gold rush. Everything from social media and smart phones to streaming video and additive games come from the cloud. This revolution has also driven many to wonder how they can retool themselves to take advantage of this massive shift. Many in IT see the technology as an opportunity to accelerate their careers but in their attempt to navigate their cloud computing future, the question of what type of training, vendor-neutral or vendor-specific, is right for them
The Federal government today is in the midst of a revolution. The revolution is challenging the norms of government by introducing new ways of serving the people. New models for creating services and delivering information; new policies and procedures that are redefining federal acquisition and what it means to be a federal system integrator. This revolution also lacks the physical and tangible artifacts of the past. Its ephemeral nature, global expanse and economic impact all combine in a tidal wave of change. This revolution is called cloud computing.
Since announcing its “Cloud First” policy in 2010, the Federal government has correctly identified cloud computing as a way to reduce costs and improve the use of existing assets, and has accordingly prioritized its adoption. It has also taken judicious steps to protect Federal networks from nefarious cyber-attacks and promote the dissemination of best practices for cybersecurity. The Federal government has also embraced mobility as a means to conduct work from any location. But until now, the implementation of these initiatives has been fragmented and lacked coordination across Federal agencies. This paper offers a framework for integrating these programs in a way that enables the Federal government to realize the economic, technological, and mission-effectiveness benefits of cloud services while simultaneously meeting current Federal cybersecurity
requirements. It advocates shifting from a compliance-based cybersecurity paradigm to
one that is risk-based and focusing on how to most effectively secure their implementation of cloud services.

Improving Cybersecurity and Resilience Through Acquisition Emile Monette GSAGovCloud Network
When the government purchases products or services with inadequate in-built “cybersecurity,” the risks created persist throughout the lifespan of the item purchased. The lasting effect of inadequate cybersecurity in acquired items is part of what makes acquisition reform so important to achieving cybersecurity and resiliency.
Currently, government and contractors use varied and nonstandard practices, which make it difficult to consistently manage and measure acquisition cyber risks across different organizations.
Meanwhile, due to the growing sophistication and complexity of ICT and the global ICT supply chains, federal agency information systems are increasingly at risk of compromise, and agencies need guidance to help manage ICT supply chain risks

DoD Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) Guide (Draft)GovCloud Network
BCL is tailored for the rapid delivery of enterprise business capability. It combines multiple, disjointed oversight processes into a single process. It recognizes that technology rapidly evolves and changes, and consequently, BCL mandates rapid capability delivery – within
eighteen months or less of program initiation. BCL is outcome-based, and modeled on best commercial practices. The process allows for the fact that not all solutions are purely technical. The entire DOTMLPF (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership
and education, Personnel and Facilities) spectrum of potential solutions are considered.
Intrusion Detection on Public IaaS - Kevin L. JacksonGovCloud Network
Cloud computing is driving the business of information technology today.
“A recent Gartner survey on the future of IT services found that only 38 percent of all organizations surveyed indicate cloud services use today. However, 80 percent of organizations said that they intend to use cloud services in some form within 12 months, including 55 percent of the organizations not doing so today.“ (Gartner, Inc, 2013)
As companies rush to adopt cloud, however, information technology (IT) security sometimes seems to be an afterthought.
The goal of this paper is to provide a survey of the current state of IT security within public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service providers. After first providing a cloud computing overview, the paper will focus on the infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) deployment model, the typical home of IaaS intrusion detection components. The Gartner Cloud Use Case Framework will then be introduced as it will also serve as the framework for this survey. An in-depth review of public cloud intrusion detection studies, options and expert observations will then follow. The paper will then offer the authors conclusions and cloud computing IDS recommendations for enterprises considering a move to the cloud.
A Framework for Cloud Computing Adoption in South African GovernmentGovCloud Network
Technology adoption is always a critical concern in organizations (private and public). South African government experienced this encounter when adopted Open Source Software (OSS) with the objective to reduce ICT services costs among others. The implementation of OSS in SA government has faced several challenges such as user resistance, human factor, support and funding. As a result of these challenges cost reduction has not been fully achieved. Cost reduction issue ultimately affects implementation of other government programmes such as those who yields job creation, better education, and improving health, etc. The potential alternative to address the same objective as aimed by OSS is Cloud Computing adoption. Cloud Computing promise to offer the SA government more advantages OSS. This study explore the feasibility of Cloud Computing adoption as an alternative to enable cost reduction, effectiveness and efficient of IT services in SA government as was aimed by OSS initiative.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Cloud computing builds on these ideas to offer a virtual
computing fabric with almost limitless and infinitely definable
processing and storage capacity. In the future, many enterprises
will choose not to invest in their own IT departments, but will pay
as they go, relying on ability to access commercial computing
services in the cloud. For many DoD applications, the
commercial cloud will be too risky, but a private cloud could
bring us many benefits. Besides the obvious economic benefits
of scalable, on-demand computing, a private cloud also gives us
the ideal platform with which to provide the virtual monitoring
and provisioning described earlier. A cloud is also an ideal place
from which to make capabilities available to the whole
enterprise. While, in the DoD, we have encountered challenges
moving towards a service-oriented architecture (SOA), in the
private sector, companies like Google and Salesforce are
basing their business models on an insatiable public hunger for
software and applications as a service. Emulating their delivery
mechanisms within our own private cloud may be key to how we
realize the true potential of net-centricity.

9. US Army
– Through a simulated deployment of the 18th Fires Brigade out of Fort
Bragg, N.C., the NSC seamlessly transferred all of the 18th's data,
information and services from their home station into a virtual deployed
environment. Once they hit the ground and plugged into the network,
they were able to immediately enter the fight with the same systems and
information that they had trained on at their home base. In the past, units
would enter a deployed environment and have to operate on a different
network with different applications, which caused a learning curve and
delay in that unit's effectiveness.
