Abstract
At the foundation of Amazon’s cloud computing are infrastructure services such as Amazon’s S3 (Simple Storage Service), SimpleDB, and EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) that provide the resources for constructing Internet-scale computing platforms and a great variety of applications. The requirements placed on these infrastructure services are very strict; they need to score high marks in the areas of security, scalability, availability, performance, and cost effectiveness, and they need to meet these requirements while serving millions of customers around the globe, continuously.

Extending Eventually Consistent Cloud Databases for Enforcing Numeric Invariants
SRDS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE 34th Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems (SRDS)Geo-replicated databases often offer high availability and low latency by relying on weak consistency models. The inability to enforce invariants across all replicas remains a key shortcoming that prevents the adoption of such databases in several ...
A Conceptual Platform of SLA in Cloud Computing
DASC '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE Ninth International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure ComputingCloud computing is a promising technology, where the infrastructure, developing platform, software and storage are delivered as a service. With the development of cloud computing, more and more cloud service providers emerge. However, there are no ...
