The technology of Kata Containers is based on KVM hypervisor. That’s why the level of isolation is equivalent to typical hypervisors. This session will focus on a live production phase when choosing kata instead of docker, and why they are preferable
Although containers provides software-level isolation of resources, the kernel needs to be shared. That’s why the isolation level in terms of security is not so high when compared with hypervisors.This learns to shift from Docker as the de facto standard to Kata containers and learn how to obtain higherl level of security

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

from desktop to disk
• Scalable infrastructure for
Agenda business applications
• Next Steps
Sun Confidential: Internal Only 2
3. Grid technology
• Allows disparate systems to be pooled
and managed as a common
computing resource.
• Applications in the grid are being
served by many computers in parallel
at the same time.
• Can deliver significant cost savings.
• Can boost the quality and flexibility of
your IT services.
The question is: Do you have the right infrastructure in
place to take full advantage of grid computing?
4. „Scale out“ with Oracle Grid
Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) is
Oracle's core technology to offer grid
computing in the database tier.
• RAC enables a database to run in parallel
on distributed servers.
• Provide continuous uptime for database
applications.
• "Scale out" by adding new servers as
additional capacity is needed.
5. Faced with new Challenges
“Scale out” may lead to a server sprawl in the
data center.
• Increasing amount of servers to integrate into
the data center, to monitor and to maintain.
• Increasing amount of Operating Systems to
install and to maintain.
• Free capacity is fragmented into small pieces
across many servers and different RAC. Thus
more difficult to use.
Adding capacity: How long does it take to order the new server, integrate
it into the infrastructure, install the OS, install Oracle software and finally
configure as new cluster node ??

and users
OS • Flexible, software-defined boundaries
> “Can't see outside zone”
> “Can't affect activity outside zone”
Server • Simple isolation
> Network, disks, memory, CPU,

• Each Container has it's own identity
(/etc/...)
What is a Solaris 10 Container ?
It is NOT an additional OS installation. But it is a separated runtime environment, within an
existing Solaris 10 OS installation.
Analogy with Databases: One single RDBMS installation, providing multiple separated
database instances.
8. Data center reliability
The Sun Fire X4600 M2 server is designed with
enterprise-class features:
• Option to “scale up”:
> 2 - 8 AMD Opteron CPUs (8 - 32 Cores)
> 512 GB Memory
> 8 PCI Slots, two PCIe + one PCI-X
controller onboard
• Redundant and hot-swappable power
supplies, fans and disks.
• Service Processor for remote system
administration. A complete implementation
of ILOM is included at no additional cost.

11. Advantage for the "Adaptive Oracle Grid"
• Availability: Leveraging Oracle RAC on Sun Enterprise Servers designed for 24x7 mission critical
computing to eliminate service outages.
• Online maintenance: Benefit from the high-end features of Sun Enterprise Servers. Maintain
CPU, memory and IO while the system continues to operate.
• Live upgrade: Upgrade and maintain the Solaris OS online using "Solaris Live Upgrade" and
reduce the planned downtime to just one server reboot.
• Usability: Any free server capacity in the grid is available to any RAC system at any point in time.
• Efficiency: Free spare capacity in the grid is pooled in larger blocks on just few serves and will be
used effectively to support peak utilizations.
• Self-balancing: Each container gets a guaranteed amount of CPU capacity. Additional capacity
demands will not be blocked, as long as free server capacity is available. That is a win-win
situation for every database.
• Scalability: Nearly unlimited scalability with the "scale-up" of Sun Enterprise high-end servers and
the "scale-out" of Oracle RAC.
• Speed-up: As Solaris Container are not new OS installations, you can provide several new
(virtual) cluster nodes just in few minutes.
• Managebility: No sprawl of servers and OS installation. Even largest landscapes can be made of
few servers and the same few amount of Solaris installations.
