A note on "The Need for End-to-End Evaluation of Cloud Availability"
Cloud availability is a major performance parameter for cloud platforms, but there are very few measurements on commercial platforms, and most of them rely on outage reports as appeared on specialized sites, providers’ dashboards, or the general press. A paper recently presented at the PAM 2014 conference by Hu et alii reports the results of a measurement campaign. In this note, the results of ...
متن کاملRolling Upgrades for Continuous Services
With the advent of highly available systems, a new challenge has appeared in the form of the requirement for rolling upgrade support. A rolling upgrade is an upgrade of a software version, performed without a noticeable down-time or other disruption of service. Highly available systems were originally conceived to cope with hardware and software failures. Upgrading the software, while the same ...
متن کاملFlexible Scheduling of Active Distribution Networks for Market Participation with Considering DGs Availability
The availability of sufficient and economic online capacity to support the network while encountering disturbances and failures leading to supply and demand imbalance has a crucial role in today distribution networks with high share of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), especially Renewable Energy Resources (RESs). This paper proposes a two-stage decision making framework for the Distribution...
متن کاملCan an influence graph driven by outage data determine transmission line upgrades that mitigate cascading blackouts?
We transform historically observed line outages in a power transmission network into an influence graph that statistically describes how cascades propagate in the power grid. The influence graph can predict the critical lines that are historically most involved in cascading propagation. After upgrading these critical lines, simulating the influence graph suggests that these upgrades could mitig...
