Infrastructure cloud computing substantially has impacted the data center services market in recent years. Many large-scale web applications are enabled by the use of infrastructure cloud services. Early infrastructure cloud market participants like Amazon, with its Amazon Web Services (AWS) portfolio, targeted such consumer web applications. These cloud services have allowed application developers to reach new levels of agility and cost efficiency, as the applications could scale automatically with demand on the user side.
Naturally, enterprise IT departments are seeking to improve their agility and cost structures and thus seek to exploit cloud computing technologies and principles for their internal systems. But introducing cloud principles in the enterprise IT environment runs into a number of obstacles, including complex legacy application architectures, particular legal requirements governing various IT operational considerations, and strategic supplier dependency realities. To align with these requirements more complex cloud delivery models have been developed, such as distributed hybrid clouds and community clouds. These models introduce further levels of technical complexity and constraints that restrict the span of service utility from an application or ‘use case’ perspective, and reduce the net benefit of cloud to the enterprise.
In this paper we present a solution that shows how the integration of dynamic networking and dynamic computing can extend the utility and feasibility of cloud to include and encompass enterprise-grade distributed data center environments.
This paper is organized as follows. In the next section we discuss in more detail the challenges enterprises face when introducing cloud services into their IT environments. In section III we present the alternative setup scenarios for the solution, and in section IV we explain the solution in detail, describing an example application. We conclude the paper with a consideration of the market outlook for the solution.
Zimory White Paper: The Cloud's Slow European Take-offZimory
The term “Cloud” is being increasingly used and analyzed in the IT market. Cloud Services are synonymous with innovative features that clearly differ from the traditional utility computing. Clouds are by definition flexible, dynamic, scalable and heterogeneous, with three defined categories: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). These qualities have proved to be very positive for IT engineering and businesses.
Nevertheless, and because of its novelty, technical and business evolution, the Cloud Computing market presents a certain number of obstacles for companies interested in moving to the Cloud, especially in the early stages.
Decision makers face a sizable considerable number of challenges when considering moving to the Cloud, especially with regards to the following obstacles:
- Pricing policies
- Neutral market place
- Technical standardization
- Lock-in policies
- Data protection and security policies
- Cloud security testing
This paper analyzes these challenges, offering factual, theoretical and practical reasons for the slow take-off of the Cloud Computing market. It also analyzes possible instances to overcome these difficulties, describing Zimory's position and practical solutions to address these market obstacles.
Zimory White Paper: Challenges Implementing an IaaS Cloud ExchangeZimory
The idea of a cloud exchange is a much discussed topic within academic and high-performance computing circles (see Breest, 2007; Buyya, Ranjan, & Calheiros, 2009). The discussion can vary widely based on the type of cloud service being discussed.
Cloud services are commonly divided into three types: IaaS, platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) (Liu et al., n d). There are several SaaS solutions and services in the marketplace that claim to deliver a cloud brokerage or exchange, however these services integrate SaaS offerings in the cloud rather than the buying and selling of services in their respective domains. This means that a SaaS cloud broker can more accurately be described as an integrator of SaaS services. This offering is completely different from an IaaS exchange from both a business and technical standpoint.
The goal of an IaaS cloud exchange is to create a distributed infrastructure in which different components are interchangeable. Controlled by the cloud exchange, the distributed infrastructure not only increases technical capabilities – such as availability and resilience – it also allows consumers to make economic decisions regarding scheduling workloads. While this is valuable to customers, it also increases the technical complexity of an IaaS cloud exchange compared to SaaS. This complexity means there are currently more SaaS services available than IaaS Cloud exchange services.
The remainder of this paper discusses the challenges, requirements and technology for an IaaS cloud exchange.

Zimory White Paper: Security in the Cloud pt 2/2Zimory
Once in the Cloud, various assumptions come to mind regarding security matters. For example, most system and network administrators decide to approach virtual network and virtual machine (VM) security the way they do their physical counterparts; applying similar security paradigms.
Security architectures designed for physical networks often fail to provide the required levels of security in the virtual world. Perimeter-based security alone is insufficient in a virtualized infrastructure partially because of virtual machines – which are sometimes, quite literally, moving targets. Dynamic networks, remote access requirements, and host machines to be carefully locked down, are some of the security concerns to be found in Cloud environments. With a little thought and imagination, however, securing your virtual infrastructure is possible provided you are willing to take a closer look.
The following document intends to analyze challenges regarding security in a virtualized environment, especially comparing implications of both physical and virtual environments. Security challenges of the Cloud environment are listed and analyzed, to finalize with possible solutions to face and resolve these challenges.
In this paper, the SMB Group examines different cloud computing models and the types of requirements that each can best address, and discusses what midmarket businesses should look for in a cloud solutions provider.
Cloud computing of late has become the new buzz word joining the ranks of terms including; grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc. However the problem is that everyone seems to have a different definition..

Getting the most out of your cloud deploymentJose Lopez
Organizations are under ever increasing pressure to reduce IT costs. One of the cost reduction methods is to move applications into the cloud. Cloud-based computing provides organizations with cost savings over time, instead of the upfront costs associated with traditional datacenter equipment. By moving from a capital expenditure (CAPEX) model to an operational expenditure (OPEX) model, organizations are able to reduce costs associated with hardware and cooling in datacenters. There are other benefits like increased productivity based on reduced administrative burden, a result of the self-service nature of cloud computing, and the ability to almost instantly provision to meet service requirements.
When moving an application into the cloud, there are design considerations that must be taken into account. Cloud computing architecture is quite different compared to traditional physical or virtual environments. For example Amazon Web Services (AWS) persistent storage is disassociated from the Amazon Machine Image (AMI), and virtual machine instances are simply disposable.
Cloud computing has become one of the most interesting topics in the IT world today. Cloud model of computing as a resource has changed the landscape of computing as it promises of increased greater reliability, massive scalability, and decreased costs have attracted businesses and individuals alike. It adds capabilities to Information Technology’s. Over the last few years, cloud computing has grown considerably in Information Technology. As more and more information of individuals and companies are placed in the cloud, there is a growing concern about the safety of information. Many Companies that are considered to be giants in software industry like Microsoft are joining to develop Cloud services [1]. Despite the hype about the cloud, customers are reluctant to deploy their business in the cloud. Security issues is one of the biggest concerns that has been affecting the growth of cloud computing .It adds complications with data privacy and data protection continues to affect the market. Users need to understand the risk of data breaches in the cloud environment. The paper highlights issues related to cloud computing.
A traditional computing environment requires a costly
infrastructure to offer a better service to users. The introduction
of cloud computing has changed the working environment from
traditional to virtual. A larger number of IT companies are
utilizing the cloud. On the one hand, the cloud attracts more
number of consumers by offering services with minimized
capital cost and virtual infrastructure. On the other hand, there
are a risk and security challenges in cloud computing that
makes the user not to move completely towards it. The cloud
environment is more vulnerable to security breaches and data
theft. Moreover, insider attacks are more frequent in larger
enterprises. An unauthenticated user can cause more damage
to company reputation. The cloud service providers are trying
to provide a secure work environment for users. However,
there is a lack of global standards and policies to invoke
security measures in cloud computing. This study aims to
highlight and classify security challenges and trust issues in the
cloud environment.
The survey was conducted in various institutions and
governmental organizations in Saudi Arabia to study the
opinions of stakeholders on cloud computing security
challenges and risks.

Abstract—Cloud computing has elevated IT to newer limits
by offering the market environment data storage and capacity
with flexible scalable computing processing power to match
elastic demand and supply, whilst reducing capital expenditure.
However the opportunity cost of the successful implementation of
Cloud computing is to effectively manage the security in the
cloud applications. Security consciousness and concerns arise as
soon as one begins to run applications beyond the designated
firewall and move closer towards the public domain. The purpose
of the paper is to provide an overall security perspective of Cloud
computing with the aim to highlight the security concerns that
should be properly addressed and managed to realize the full
potential of Cloud computing. Gartner’s list on cloud security
issues, as well the findings from the International Data
Corporation enterprise panel survey based on cloud threats, will
be discussed in this paper.

I. INTRODUCTION
The success of modern day technologies highly depends on
its effectiveness of the world’s norms, its ease of use by end
users and most importantly its degree of information security
and control. Cloud computing is a new and emerging
information technology that changes the way IT architectural
solutions are put forward by means of moving towards the
theme of virtualisation: of data storage, of local networks
(infrastructure) as well as software [1-2].
In a survey undertaken by the International Data
Corporation (IDC) group between 2008 and 2009, the majority
of results point to employing Cloud computing as a low-cost
viable option to users [3]. The results also show that Cloud
computing is best suited for individuals who are seeking a
quick solution for startups, such as developers or research
projects and even e-commerce entrepreneurs. Using Cloud
computing can help in keeping one’s IT budget to a bare
minimum. It is also ideally suited for development and testing
scenarios. It is the easiest solution to test potential proof of
concepts without investing too much capital. Cloud computing
can deliver a vast array of IT capabilities in real time using
many different types of resources such as hardware, software,
virtual storage once logged onto a cloud. Cloud computing can
also be part of a broader business solution whereby prioritised
applications utilise Cloud computing functionality whilst other
critical applications maintain organisational resources as per
normal. This allows for cost saving whilst maintaining a secure
degree of control within an orgainsation.
Cloud computing can be seen as a service-oriented ...

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.

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.

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).
