Abstract:
Cloud computing is an emerging service technology that has ethical and entrepreneurial implications. Due to technological innovations increasing the attention placed on cloud computing services, more people are focusing on the security and privacy issues determined by ethical guidelines and how the technology is evolving as an entrepreneurial service innovation. This paper presents a theoretical perspective on how a person adopts cloud computing. The literature on technology innovation and adoption behaviour is examined with a focus on social cognitive theory. A theoretical framework is then presented, which indicates a number of propositions to describe the intention of a person to adopt cloud computing services. The role of technology marketing capability, sustained learning and outcome expectancy are included in helping to understand the role of cloud computing applications. Suggestions for future research and practical implications are stated.

Abstract:
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing as a service rather than a product, whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided to computers and other devices as a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network (typically the internet). Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Parallel to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, wherein end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service.

Abstract:
Efficiency (in term of time consumption) and effectiveness in resources utilization are the desired quality attributes in cloud services provision. The main purpose of which is to execute jobs optimally, i.e., with minimum average waiting, turnaround and response time by using effective scheduling technique. Replication provides improved availability and scalability; decreases bandwidth use and increases fault tolerance. To speed up access, file can be replicated so a user can access a nearby replica. This paper proposes architecture to convert Globally One Cloud to Locally Many Clouds. By combining replication and scheduling, this architecture improves efficiency and easy accessibility. In the case of failure of one sub cloud or one cloud service, clients can start using another cloud under “failover” techniques. As a result, no one cloud service will go down.

Abstract:
Cloud computing has slowly but surely become the foremost service provider for information technology applications and platform delivery. However, Cloud issues continue to exist, like cyberattacks, slow last mile latency, and clouds lack client-centric and location-aware applications to process real time data for efficient and customized application delivery. As an alternative, Fog Computing has the potential to resolve these issues by extending the Cloud service provider's reach to the edge of the Cloud network model, right up to the Cloud service consumer. This enables a whole new state of applications and services which increases the security, enhances the cloud experience and keeps the data close to the user. This research article presents a review on the academic literature research work on Fog Computing, introduces a novel taxonomy to classify cloud products based on Fog computing elements and then determine the best fit Fog Computing product to choose for the Cloud service consumer.

Abstract:
This paper aims to determine the perception of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) employees regarding the usage of cloud computing services in their activities. The quantitative study was conducted on a sample of 315 respondents employed in Romanian SMEs. Testing of the conceptual model was performed with the WarpPLS 3.0 software. The study aimed to test how several constructs—the perceived benefits, disadvantages and risks, communication process, overall experience of using cloud computing services, perceived image, and empathy regarding the cloud computing services—influence the perception of the cloud computing service quality among SMEs employees. Moreover, employees’ perception regarding the satisfaction of using cloud computing services based on the perceived quality was also tested. We concluded that the perceived benefits and disadvantages of cloud computing service usage, the perception of both the communication process and users’ experience regarding cloud computing service use, empathy, and cloud computing service image positively influence the perceived quality of the cloud computing service usage in SMEs. We did not find evidence that the perceived risks significantly influence the perceived quality of cloud computing services. Finally, we demonstrated that the perceived quality of the cloud computing services positively influences the satisfaction regarding cloud computing services among SMEs employees.

Abstract:
There has been a very rapid increase in digital media content, due to which media cloud is gaining importance. Cloud computing paradigm provides management of resources and helps create extended portfolio of services. Through cloud computing, not only are services managed more efficiently, but also service discovery is made possible. To handle rapid increase in the content, media cloud plays a very vital role. But it is not possible for standalone clouds to handle everything with the increasing user demands. For scalability and better service provisioning, at times, clouds have to communicate with other clouds and share their resources. This scenario is called Intercloud computing or cloud federation. The study on Intercloud computing is still in its start. Resource management is one of the key concerns to be addressed in Intercloud computing. Already done studies discuss this issue only in a trivial and simplistic way. In this study, we present a resource management model, keeping in view different types of services, different customer types, customer characteristic, pricing, and refunding. The presented framework was implemented using Java and NetBeans 8.0 and evaluated using CloudSim 3.0.3 toolkit. Presented results and their discussion validate our model and its efficiency.

Abstract:
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is the availability of cloud computing services in a mobile environment. By providing optimal services for mobile users, MCC incorporates the elements of mobile networks and cloud computing. In mobile cloud computing, all the data and complicated computing modules can be processed in clouds, and mobile devices do not need a powerful configuration like CPU speed, memory capacity, etc. However, the mobile devices are facing up with many struggles in their resources (e.g., battery life, storage, and bandwidth) and communications (e.g., privacy, mobility, and security). These challenges have a significant effect on the improvement of service qualities. In this paper, a literature survey on the MCC and security issues in MCC has presented.

Abstract:
Cloud Computing is emerging as a new paradigm that aims at delivering computing as a utility. For the cloud computing paradigm to be fully adopted and effectively used it is critical that the security mechanisms are robust and resilient to malicious faults and attacks. Securing cloud is a challenging research problem because it suffers from current cybersecurity problems in computer networks and data centers and additional complexity introduced by virtualizations, multi-tenant occupancy, remote storage, and cloud management. It is widely accepted that we cannot build software and computing systems that are free from vulnerabilities and that cannot be penetrated or attacked. Furthermore, it is widely accepted that cyber resilient techniques are the most promising solutions to mitigate cyberattacks and change the game to advantage defender over attacker. Moving Target Defense (MTD) has been proposed as a mechanism to make it extremely challenging for an attacker to exploit existing vulnerabilities by varying different aspects of the execution environment. By continuously changing the environment (e.g. Programming language, Operating System, etc.) we can reduce the attack surface and consequently, the attackers will have very limited time to figure out current execution environment and vulnerabilities to be exploited. In this dissertation, we present a methodology to develop an Autonomic Resilient Cloud Management (ARCM) based on MTD and autonomic computing. The proposed research will utilize the following capabilities: Software Behavior Obfuscation (SBO), replication, diversity, and Autonomic Management (AM). SBO employs spatiotemporal behavior hiding or encryption and MTD to make software components change their implementation versions and resources randomly to avoid exploitations and penetrations. Diversity and random execution is achieved by using AM that will randomly "hot" shuffling multiple functionally-equivalent, behaviorally-different software versions at runtime (e.g., the software task can have multiple versions implemented in a different language and/or run on a different platform). The execution environment encryption will make it extremely difficult for an attack to disrupt normal operations of cloud. In this work, we evaluated the performance overhead and effectiveness of the proposed ARCM approach to secure and protect a wide range of cloud applications such as MapReduce and scientific and engineering applications.

Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Sistemas de Informação Organizacionais
O conceito de Cloud Computing tem evoluído constantemente, na vertente dos modelos de serviços, baseados em pool de recursos tecnológicos. Cada vez mais, tem-se utilizado a tecnologia de virtualização para a otimização dos recursos, os quais são partilhados por todos os clientes, num formato de self-service. Estas características resultam num comportamento flexível e escalável dos recursos. A gestão do serviço disponibilizado, efetua-se em função do acordo de níveis de serviço estabelecidos, entre cliente e o fornecedor da Cloud, e a constante evolução tecnológica proporciona rápidas mutações ao nível das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC). O estudo, de cariz qualitativo, é guiado por um Estudo de Caso, realizado na Província de Luanda, na empresa de telecomunicações FILHO, S.A., a fim de procurar novas soluções com o intuito de aumentar a produtividade da empresa, levando a que se ponderem soluções inovadoras, de rápida implementação e de baixo custo. O objetivo geral desta dissertação é analisar a viabilidade da adoção da Cloud Computing na FILHO, S.A. através de duas perspetivas: a virtualização de ambiente de trabalho desktop em servidores de Data center interno e a utilização de serviços de gestão arquivo do correio eletrónico em infraestrutura do fornecedor (Public Cloud) instigando as organizações angolanas a darem um passo – calculado e esclarecido - na adoção desta nova tecnologia, pois acreditamos ser significativo no sentido de incentivar maior produtividade. No que concerne ao estudo empírico, conclui-se que a problemática deverá ser devidamente pensada no aspeto contratual, a prudência vai para o cuidado na escolha do fornecedor e na contratualização de níveis de serviços adequados. Conclui-se que existe viabilidade da migração do e-mail para a cloud pública, ao invés das aplicações core, as quais pela sua avaliação, fator estratégico, segurança e ausência de leis especificas não se aconselha de imediato a sua migração, quanto à viabilidade da virtualização de desktop em servidores de Data center interno apontam para a realização de protótipos que avaliem no terreno a viabilidade das soluções propostas.
Abstract: The concept of Cloud Computing has evolved constantly, in strand of service models, based on pooling of technological resources. Increasingly, it has used virtualization technology to optimize resources, which are shared by all accounts, a self-service format. These features result in a flexible and progressive behavior of resources. The management of the service provided, makes up depending on the service level agreement established between the client and the cloud provider, and the constant Technological developments are rapidly changing in terms of Information and Communication Technologies (TIC). The study, of qualitative nature, is guided by a Case Study, held in Luanda Province, the telecommunications company Filho, S.A., in order to seek new solutions for the purpose of increase productivity of the company, leading to what is consider innovative solutions, rapid implementation and low cost. The overall objective of this dissertation is to examine the feasibility of the adoption of the Cloud Computing in Filho, S.A through two perspectives: the virtualization of desktop work environment internal datacenter servers and the use of the email file management services in infrastructure of the supplier (Public Cloud) instigating the Angolan organizations to take a step - calculated and informed - in the adoption of this new technology because we believe it is meaningful towards encouraging greater productivity. Concerning the empirical study, it is concluded that the issue should be appropriately thought out in the contractual aspect, prudence goes to careful in selecting the supplier and the contract awarding of adequate service levels. It is concluded that there is viability of e-mail migration to the public cloud, rather than of core applications, which for its evaluation, strategic factor, safety and absence of specific laws is not advised immediately to their migration, as to the feasibility desktop virtualization in data center internal servers point to the construction of prototypes which assess the field the feasibility of the solutions proposed.

Abstract:
Cloud computing has become a hugely popular new paradigm for hosting and delivering services over the internet for individuals and organisations with low cost. However, security is a sensitive issue in cloud computing, as it its services remain accessible to anyone after initial authenticated login and for significant periods. This has led to an increase in the number of attacks on sensitive cus-tomer information. This research identified biometric approaches as a possible solution for security to be maintained beyond the point of entry. Specifically, behaviour profiling has been proposed and applied across various other applications in the area of Transparent Authentication Systems (TAS's) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS's) to detect account misuse. However, little research has sought to imple-ment this technique within cloud computing services to detect misuse. This research proposes a novel continuous identity verification system as a supporting factor to protect cloud users by operating transparently to detect ab-normal access. The research examines the feasibility of applying a behavioural profiling technique on cloud users with respect to Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Two real-life datasets were collected from 30 and 60 users for SaaS and IaaS studies, respectively. A thorough design and investigation of the biometric techniques was undertaken, including description statistics analysis and pattern classification optimisation. A number of factors were analysed to evaluate the impact on system performance, such as volume of data and type of sample selection. On average, using random sampling, the best experimental result achieved an EER (Equal Error Rate) of as low as 5.8%; six users experienced EERs equal to or less than 0.3%. Moreover, the IaaS study achieved a higher performance than the SaaS study with an overall EER of 0.32%. Based on the intensive analysis of the experimental performance of SaaS and IaaS studies, it has been identified that changes in user behaviour over time can negatively affect the performance of the suggested technique. Therefore, a dy-namic template renewal procedure has been proposed as a novel solution to keep recent user behaviour updated in the current users' templates. The practi-cal experimental result using the more realistic time-series sampling methodolo-gy has shown the validity of the proposed solution with higher accuracy of 5.77 % EER.

La croissance des appareils connectés, principalement due au grand nombre de déploiements de l'internet des objets et à l'émergence des services de cloud mobile, introduit de nouveaux défis pour la conception d'architectures de services dans le Cloud Computing Mobile (CCM) du cloud computing mobile. Nous montrons dans cette thèse comment l'architecture orientée services SOA peut être une solution clé pour fournir des services cloud mobiles distribués et comment la plate-forme OSGi peut être un cadre adaptatif et efficace pour fournir une telle implémentation. Nous adaptons le cadre CCM proposé à différents contextes d'architecture. Le premier est un modèle centré traditionnel, où les appareils mobiles sont réduits à consommer des services. Le second est un modèle distribué où la puissance de l'interaction de mobile à mobile offre des opportunités illimitées de services de valeur, et enfin, l'architecture à trois niveaux est considérée avec l'introduction de la notion de cloudlet. Pour chaque contexte, nous explorons la performance de notre cadre axé sur le service et le comparons à d'autres solutions existantes
The growth of connected devices, mostly due to the large number of internet of things IoT deployments and the emergence of mobile cloud services, introduces new challenges for the design of service architectures in mobile cloud computing MCC. An MCC framework should provide elasticity and scalability in a distributed and dynamic way while dealing with limited environment resources and variable mobile contexts web applications, real-time, enterprise services, mobile to mobile, hostile environment, etc. that may include additional constraints impacting the design foundation of cloud services. We show in this thesis how service-oriented architecture SOA can be a key solution to provide distributed mobile cloud services and how OSGi platform can be an adaptive and efficient framework to provide such implementation. We adapt the proposed MCC framework to different architecture contexts. The first one is a traditional centric model, where mobile devices are reduced to consuming services. The second one is a distributed model where the power of mobile-to-mobile interaction offers unlimited value-services opportunities, and finally, three-tier architecture is considered with the introduction of the cloudlet notion. For each context, we explore the performance of our service-oriented framework, and contrast it with alternative existing solutions

Abstract:
More and more clouds with diversified properties have been built. Many of them span multiple geographical locations over the globe, imposing time-varying costs on and offering different service proximities to users. Clouds could be private or public, requiring different levels of administration effort and providing different levels of freedom to control. Hybrid clouds, which blend together multiple public and private clouds, possess properties of both types. Based on these diversified properties, multiple clouds have the potential to provide services with higher scalability, lower operational cost and better QoS. To exploit this potential, I examine the means of deploying services on multiple clouds, that can maximize utility in dynamic environments. Firstly, I consider the migration of an important representative application, content distribution services, to geo-distributed hybrid clouds. I model the problem of joint content data migration and request dispatching as a unified optimization framework, and then design a dynamic control algorithm to solve it. The algorithm bounds the response times within the preset QoS target, and guarantees that the overall cost is within a small constant gap from the optimum that can be achieved by a T-slot look ahead mechanism with known future information. Secondly, I study the problem of efficient scheduling for disparate MapReduce workloads on hybrid clouds. I build a fine-grained and tractable model to characterize the scheduling of heterogeneous MapReduce workloads. An online algorithm is proposed for joint task admission control for the private cloud, task outsourcing to the public cloud, and VM allocation to execute the admitted tasks on the private cloud, such that the time-averaged task outsourcing cost is minimized over the long run. The online algorithm features preemptive scheduling of the tasks, where a task executed partially on the on-premise infrastructure can be paused and scheduled to run later. It also achieves such desirable properties as meeting a pre-set task admission ratio and bounding the worst-case task completion time. Thirdly, I consider a cloud computing resource market where a broker is employed that pools the spare resources of multiple private clouds and leases them to serve external users' jobs. I model the interaction between the broker and the private clouds as a two-stage Stackelberg game. As the leader in the game, the broker decides on the pricing for renting VMs from each private cloud. As a follower, each private cloud responds with the number of VMs that it is willing to lease. Combining all this with Lyapunov optimization theory, I design online algorithms for the broker to set the prices and schedule the jobs on the private clouds, and for each private cloud to decide the numbers of VMs to lease. The broker achieves a time-averaged profit that is close to the offline optimum with complete information on future job arrivals and resource availability, while each private cloud earns the best that it can. Through theoretical analysis and empirical study, I rigorously examine the cost or profit optimality, and QoS guarantee of my design, and show that they can indeed outperform existing solutions.

Abstract:
Service providers have long recognized that their customers play a vital role in the service delivery process since they are not only recipients but also producers, or co-producers, of the service delivered. Moreover, in the particular context of self-service technology (SST) offerings, it is widely recognized that customers’ knowledge, skills and abilities in co-producing the service are key determinants of the services’ adoption and usage. However, despite the importance of customers’ capabilities, prior research has not yet paid much attention to the mechanisms by which service providers can influence them and, in turn, how the providers’ efforts affect customers’ use of the service. This dissertation addresses research questions associated with the role of a provider’s technology support and education in influencing customer use of an SST, namely public cloud computing infrastructure services. The unique datasets used to answer these research questions were collected from one of the major global providers in the cloud infrastructure services industry. This research context offers an excellent opportunity to study the role of technology support since, when adapting the standardized and commoditized components of the cloud service to their individual needs, customers may face important co-production costs that can be mitigated by the provider’s assistance. Specifically, customers must configure their computing servers and deploy their software applications on their own, relying on their own capabilities. Moreover, the cloud’s offering of on-demand computing servers through a fully pay-per-use model allows us to directly observe variation in the actual use customers make of the service. The first study of this dissertation examines how varying levels of technology support, which differ in the level of participation and assistance of the provider in customers’ service co-production process, influence the use that customers make of the service. The study matches and compares 20,179 firms that used the service between March 2009 and August 2012, and who over time accessed one of the two levels of support available: full and basic. Using fixed effects panel data models and a difference-in-difference identification strategy, we find that customers who have access to full support or accessed it in the past use (i.e., consume) more of the service than customers who have only accessed basic support. Moreover, the provider’s involvement in the co-production process is complementary with firm size in the sense that larger firms use more of the service than smaller ones if they upgrade from basic to full support. Finally, the provider’s co-participation through full support also has a positive influence on the effectiveness with which buyers make use of the service. Firms that access full support are more likely to deploy computing architectures that leverage on the cloud’s advanced features. The second study examines the value of early proactive education, which is defined as any provider-initiated effort to increase its customers’ service co-production related knowledge and skills immediately after service adoption. The study analyzes the outcome of a field experiment executed by the provider between October and November 2011, during which 366 randomly-selected customers out of 2,673 customers that adopted during the field experiment period received early proactive education treatment. The treatment consisted in a short phone call followed up by a support ticket through which the provider offered initial guidance on how to use the basic features of the service. We use survival analysis (i.e., hazard models) to compare the treatment’s effect on customer retention, and find that it reduces by half the number of customers who leave the service offering during the first week. We also use count data models to examine the treatment’s effect on customers’ demand for technology support, and find that the treated customers ask about 19.55% fewer questions during the first week of their lifetimes than the controls.

Abstract:
The decision to adopt cloud computing services should involve business units of an insurance company as well as information technology (IT) because cloud computing services are viewed as both a technology offering and business alternative. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore the strategies used by IT architects of an Illinois-based insurance company when adopting cloud computing services. The theory supporting this study was the technology acceptance model. The study's population consisted of IT architects from an Illinois-based insurance company that have used strategies to adopt cloud computing services. This study's data collection included semistructured interviews and review of organizational documents. Member checking with each participant increased the validity of this study's findings. Four major themes emerged from this study: strategies to adopt cloud computing services, strategies to adopt cloud services models, strategies to adopt cloud computing models, and concerns affecting the strategies to adopt cloud computing services. The study findings may assist IT architects in developing effective strategies to adopt cloud computing services for their respective business unit. This study might serve as a foundation for positive social change by decreasing customer concerns regarding critical information being compromised when adopting cloud computing services.

Abstract:
Context: Cloud computing is reshaping the service-delivery and business-models in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The Information Technology (IT) sector has benefited from it in the previous 3-5 years. Despite the attraction of cloud computing, it is required to have an effective application migration strategy. Cloud computing with its diverse provisioning models makes it possible for telecom vendors and service providers to decide effective service and business models. Currently, cloud computing contains security, performance and dimensioning considerations for telecom companies. Objectives: This thesis assesses the trends and issues associated with the cloud, with telecommunications perspective, while leveraging the cloud to come to a decision on a suitable cloud environment for telecom grade applications. Analysis of maturity of public cloud (in terms of compatibility, consolidation, compliance and standardization) in general and Amazon cloud in particular, is part of the thesis objective. While doing so, deployment of a telecom-grade product in the Amazon cloud will be evaluated against the current on-premise deployment. We want to identify architectural difference between the two domains, and what issues are faced when a migration is planned. This evaluation between two systems, i.e. on-premise and the cloud will significantly contribute to the research and can be used when making business decisions. Methods: We conducted literature review, survey, and a case study, assessing the above mentioned objectives. Research papers from academia and industry were chosen for literature review; personnel, with experience in cloud computing, were chosen for the survey; and a telecom-grade platform was used to assess the migration issues on Amazon cloud in the case study. The Ericsson Composition Engine (ECE) was used to check what deployment issues it can have on Amazon cloud. Its on-premise Reference Deployment Architecture was compared with the cloud-based Reference Deployment Architecture. This case study served as a confirmation to results obtained in the literature review and survey. Results: In the literature review and survey, we found motivations, trends, current applications, and challenges of cloud computing for telecom. It was found from the case study that Amazon Web Services (AWS) lacks application and network centric attributes that are required in ECE deployment. We propose recommendations that can be integrated with ECE while deploying it in a public cloud. Conclusions: Companies are choosing cloud vendors that uniquely give ease of migration and control, based on application needs and compatibility. ECE cannot be directly migrated to AWS, unless we provide Amazon specific modifications in the architecture. The survey and literature review support a private and/or hybrid strategy for ECE, along with the inclusion of cloud networking into the ECE package.

Within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), service level agreements are a widely used tool for acquiring enterprise-level information technology (IT) resources. In order to contain, if not reduce, the total cost of ownership of IT resources to the enterprise, the DoD has undertaken outsourcing its IT needs to Cloud service providers. In this thesis, we explore how service level agreements are specified for non-Cloud-based services, followed by determining how to tailor those practices to specifying service level agreements for Cloud-based service provision, with a focus on end-to-end management of the service-provisioning.

Abstract:
Le Cloud Computing est en plein essor, grace a ses divers avantages, telsl'elasticite, le cout, ou encore son importante exibilite dans le developpementd'applications. Il demeure cependant des problemes en suspens, lies auxperformances, a la disponibilite, la fiabilite, ou encore la securite. De nombreusesetudes se focalisent sur la fiabilite et les performance dans les servicesdu Cloud, qui sont les points critiques pour le client. On retrouve parmicelles-ci plusieurs themes emergents, allant de l'ordonnancement de tachesau placement de donnees et leur replication, en passant par la tolerance auxfautes adaptative ou a la demande, et l'elaboration de nouveaux modeles defautes.Les outils actuels evaluant la fiabilite des services du Cloud se basent surdes parametres simplifies. Ils ne permettent pas d'analyser les performancesou de comparer l'efficacite des solutions proposees. Cette these aborde precisement ce probleme en proposant un modele d'environnement complet detest destine a evaluer la fiabilite et les performances des services de CloudComputing. La creation d'outils de tests destines a l'evaluation de la fiabiliteet des performances des services du Cloud pose de nombreux defis, en raisonde la grande quantite et de la complexite des donnees traitees par ce genrede services. Les trois principaux modeles de Cloud Computing sont respectivement:Infrastructure en tant que Service (IaaS), Plate-forme en tant queService (PaaS) et Logiciel en tant que Service (SaaS).Dans le cadre de cettethese, nous nous concentrons sur le modele PaaS. Il permet aux systemesd'exploitation ou aux intergiciels d'etre accessibles via une connexion internet.Nous introduisons une architecture de test generique, qui sera utiliseepar la suite lors de la creation d'outils de tests, destines a l'evaluation de lafiabilite et de la performance
Cloud computing models are attractive because of various benefits such asscalability, cost and exibility to develop new software applications. However,availability, reliability, performance and security challenges are still not fullyaddressed. Dependability is an important issue for the customers of cloudcomputing who want to have guarantees in terms of reliability and availability.Many studies investigated the dependability and performance of cloud services,ranging from job scheduling to data placement and replication, adaptiveand on-demand fault-tolerance to new fault-tolerance models. However, thead-hoc and overly simplified settings used to evaluate most cloud service fault toleranceand performance improvement solutions pose significant challengesto the analysis and comparison of the effectiveness of these solutions.This thesis precisely addresses this problem and presents a benchmarkingapproach for evaluating the dependability and performance of cloud services.Designing of dependability and performance benchmarks for a cloud serviceis a particular challenge because of high complexity and the large amount ofdata processed by such service. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform asa Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) are the three well definedmodels of cloud computing. In this thesis, we will focus on the PaaS modelof cloud computing. PaaS model enables operating systems and middlewareservices to be delivered from a managed source over a network. We introduce ageneric benchmarking architecture which is further used to build dependabilityand performance benchmarks for PaaS model of cloud services

Abstract:
Governments are responding to rapid change and growing demands by citizens and businesses by accelerating the digitalization of public services. They are updating their e-government capabilities, adding new digital tools and services, augmenting their data analytics capabilities, and putting in place digital economy development plans. Many of these changes are enabled by cloud computing technologies that have become commonplace in the digitally connected world. The rapidly scalable computing resources that cloud computing delivers via the internet bring cost benefits, improve agility, ensure resilience, and provide access to the latest solutions that digital technology can offer.

Abstract:
Modern agricultural production and food trade are involved in the process of digital transformation, which is a cardinal factor of sustainable development and is carried out on the basis of IT platforms, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the dependence of these sectors of the economy on information and communication technology infrastructure and services. At the same time, the slow updating of legislation, which lags behind the constantly improving digital technologies, not only hinders their implementation, but also is a source of a number of social and legal problems. A modern regulatory framework based on digital strategies should strengthen "smart agriculture". In Russia, the legal mechanism of digital transformation and development of the national platform "Digital Agriculture" should be supported by updated basic legislation.
