Abstract

Since the conception of cloud computing, ensuring its ability to provide highly reliable service has been of the upmost importance and criticality to the business objectives of providers and their customers. This has held true for every facet of the system, encompassing applications, resource management, the underlying computing infrastructure, and environmental cooling. Thus, the cloud-computing and dependability research communities have exerted considerable effort toward enhancing the reliability of system components against various software and hardware failures. However, as these systems have continued to grow in scale, with heterogeneity and complexity resulting in the manifestation of..
