In past years, cloud storage systems saw an enormous rise in usage. However, despite their popularity and importance as underlying infrastructure for more complex cloud services, todays cloud storage systems do not account for compliance with regulatory, organizational, or contractual data handling requirements by design. Since legislation increasingly responds to rising data protection and privacy concerns, complying with data handling requirements becomes a crucial property for cloud storage systems. We present PRADA, a practical approach to account for compliance with data handling requirements in key-value based cloud storage systems. To achieve this goal, PRADA introduces a transparent data handling layer, which empowers clients to request specific data handling requirements and enables operators of cloud storage systems to comply with them. We implement PRADA on top of the distributed database Cassandra and show in our evaluation that complying with data handling requirements in cloud storage systems is practical in real-world cloud deployments as used for microblogging, data sharing in the Internet of Things, and distributed email storage.

Erasure codes are increasingly being studied in the context of implementing atomic memory objects in large scale asynchronous distributed storage systems. When compared with the traditional replication based schemes, erasure codes have the potential of significantly lowering storage and communication costs while simultaneously guaranteeing the desired resiliency levels. In this work, we propose the Storage-Optimized Data-Atomic (SODA) algorithm for implementing atomic memory objects in the multi-writer multi-reader setting. SODA uses Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes, and is specifically designed to optimize the total storage cost for a given fault-tolerance requirement. For tolerating $f$ server crashes in an $n$-server system, SODA uses an $[n, k]$ MDS code with $k=n-f$, and incurs a total storage cost of $frac{n}{n-f}$. SODA is designed under the assumption of reliable point-to-point communication channels. The communication cost of a write and a read operation are respectively given by $O(f^2)$ and $frac{n}{n-f}(delta_w+1)$, where $delta_w$ denotes the number of writes that are concurrent with the particular read. In comparison with the recent CASGC algorithm, which also uses MDS codes, SODA offers lower storage cost while pays more on the communication cost. We also present a modification of SODA, called SODA$_{text{err}}$, to handle the case where some of the servers can return erroneous coded elements during a read operation. Specifically, in order to tolerate $f$ server failures and $e$ error-prone coded elements, the SODA$_{text{err}}$ algorithm uses an $[n, k]$ MDS code such that $k=n-2e-f$. SODA$_{text{err}}$ also guarantees liveness and atomicity, while maintaining an optimized total storage cost of $frac{n}{n-f-2e}$.
Cloud computing has emerged as a powerful and elastic platform for internet service hosting, yet it also draws concerns of the unpredictable performance of cloud-based services due to network congestion. To offer predictable performance, the virtual cluster abstraction of cloud services has been proposed, which enables allocation and performance isolation regarding both computing resources and network bandwidth in a simplified virtual network model. One issue arisen in virtual cluster allocation is the survivability of tenant services against physical failures. Existing works have studied virtual cluster backup provisioning with fixed primary embeddings, but have not considered the impact of primary embeddings on backup resource consumption. To address this issue, in this paper we study how to embed virtual clusters survivably in the cloud data center, by jointly optimizing primary and backup embeddings of the virtual clusters. We formally define the survivable virtual cluster embedding problem. We then propose a novel algorithm, which computes the most resource-efficient embedding given a tenant request. Since the optimal algorithm has high time complexity, we further propose a faster heuristic algorithm, which is several orders faster than the optimal solution, yet able to achieve similar performance. Besides theoretical analysis, we evaluate our algorithms via extensive simulations.
In this paper, we study cache policies for cloud-based caching. Cloud-based caching uses cloud storage services such as Amazon S3 as a cache for data items that would have been recomputed otherwise. Cloud-based caching departs from classical caching: cloud resources are potentially infinite and only paid when used, while classical caching relies on a fixed storage capacity and its main monetary cost comes from the initial investment. To deal with this new context, we design and evaluate a new caching policy that minimizes the overall cost of a cloud-based system. The policy takes into account the frequency of consumption of an item and the cloud cost model. We show that this policy is easier to operate, that it scales with the demand and that it outperforms classical policies managing a fixed capacity.
Recent measurement studies show that there are massively distributed hosting and computing infrastructures deployed in the Internet. Such infrastructures include large data centers and organizations computing clusters. When idle, these resources can readily serve local users. Such users can be smartphone or tablet users wishing to access services such as remote desktop or CPU/bandwidth intensive activities. Particularly, when they are likely to have high latency to access, or may have no access at all to, centralized cloud providers. Today, however, there is no global marketplace where sellers and buyers of available resources can trade. The recently introduced marketplaces of Amazon and other cloud infrastructures are limited by the network footprint of their own infrastructures and availability of such services in the target country and region. In this article we discuss the potentials for a federated cloud marketplace where sellers and buyers of a number of resources, including storage, computing, and network bandwidth, can freely trade. This ecosystem can be regulated through brokers who act as service level monitors and auctioneers. We conclude by discussing the challenges and opportunities in this space.
The proliferation of cloud providers has brought substantial interoperability complexity to the public cloud market, in which cloud brokering has been playing an important role. However, energy-related issues for public clouds have not been well addr essed in the literature. In this paper, we claim that the broker is also situated in a perfect position where necessary actions can be taken to achieve energy efficiency for public cloud systems, particularly through job assignment and scheduling. We formulate the problem by a mixed integer program and prove its NP-hardness. Based on the complexity analysis, we simplify the problem by introducing admission control on jobs. In the sequel, optimal job assignment can be done straightforwardly and the problem is transformed into improving job admission rate by scheduling on two coupled phases: data transfer and job execution. The two scheduling phases are further decoupled and we develop efficient scheduling algorithm for each of them. Experimental results show that the proposed solution can achieve significant reduction on energy consumption with admission rates improved as well, even in large-scale public cloud systems.
