Researchers from the Service Prototyping Lab have found new methods to tame and control cloud infrastructure and platform services which, despite the best intentions by the providers, are often volatile, unavailable or unreliable. With the new methods, applications remain mostly unaffected from the problems. Two publications about the methods will be presented at the upcoming […]
