Titus: Introducing Containers to the Netflix Cloud

Using Containers to Deliver an Efficient Private Cloud

Distributed Cloud Storage Services with FleCS Containers

There are limits to the ability to migrate or deploy applications across geographically distributed/loosely coupled cloud resources, requiring substantial data movement and/or uniformly visible and accessible storage services across such distributed infrastructure. To address these issues, we propose and explore the utility of FleCS – an approach for providing FLExible Cloud Storage services in...

The BellKor solution to the Netflix Prize

Our final solution (RMSE=0.8712) consists of blending 107 individual results. Since many of these results are close variants, we first describe the main approaches behind them. Then, we will move to describing each individual result. The core components of the solution are published in our ICDM'2007 paper [1] (or, KDD-Cup'2007 paper [2]), and also in the earlier KDD'2007 paper [3]. We assume th...

Understanding Security Implications of Using Containers in the Cloud

Container technology is being adopted as a mainstream platform for IT solutions because of high degree of agility, reusability and portability it offers. However, there are challenges to be addressed for successful adoption. First, it is difficult to establish the full pedigree of images downloaded from public registries. Some might have vulnerabilities introduced unintentionally through rounds...

Statement - C . Titus Brown

The future of biology and biomedicine lies at the intersection of data gathering, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. It is increasingly easy to gather large amounts of relevant data, but interpretation of that data and connection of that data to downstream hypothesis-driven experimentation is still difficult and rare. Effectively integrating large scale data analysis with “wet” biol...
