Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

This book demystifies how Kubernetes networking actually works by walking through a simple but practical simulation that mirrors reality as closely as possible while skipping the gory details. Widespread adoption of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes have spawned a whole field of industry products startups and academic research in the field of container networking typically termed as cloud-native networking. But what is cloud-native networking? What are the various pieces and how do they fit together? Over recent years most applications have been deployed on cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes has been the widely adopted orchestrator for these clouds. Application developers in most cases are unaware of the underlying plumbing in Kubernetes that holds their applications running as containers. Networking is an integral part of any Kubernetes environment and efficiently drives the various abstractions provided by it. Needless to say it greatly effects the performance of applications which in general have a humongous amount of inter-microservice communication. The impact is even more profound in multiple cloud environments. | Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive

Cyber Resilience

Modern cyber systems acquire more emergent system properties as far as their complexity increases: cyber resilience controllability self-organization proactive cyber security and adaptability. Each of the listed properties is the subject of the cybernetics research and each subsequent feature makes sense only if there is a previous one. Cyber resilience is the most important feature of any cyber system especially during the transition to the sixth technological stage and related Industry 4. 0 technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cloud and foggy computing 5G + IoT/IIoT Big Data and ETL Q-computing Blockchain VR/AR etc. We should even consider the cyber resilience as a primary one because the mentioned systems cannot exist without it. Indeed without the sustainable formation made of the interconnected components of the critical information infrastructure it does not make sense to discuss the existence of 4. 0 Industry cyber-systems. In case when the cyber security of these systems is mainly focused on the assessment of the incidents' probability and prevention of possible security threats the cyber resilience is mainly aimed at preserving the targeted behavior and cyber systems' performance under the conditions of known (about 45 %) as well as unknown (the remaining 55 %) cyber attacks. This monograph shows that modern Industry 4. 0. Cyber systems do not have the required cyber resilience for targeted performance under heterogeneous mass intruder cyber-attacks. The main reasons include a high cyber system structural and functional complexity a potential danger of existing vulnerabilities and “sleep” hardware and software tabs as well as an inadequate efficiency of modern models methods and tools to ensure cyber security reliability response and recovery.

Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Data communication standards are comprised of two components: The “protocol” and “Signal/data/port specifications for the devices involved”. The protocol describes the format of the message and the meaning of each part of the message. To connect any device to the bus an external device must be used as an interface which will put the message in a form which fulfills all the electrical specifications of the port. These specifications are called the “Standard”. The most famous such serial communication standard is the RS-232. In IT technology Communication can be serial or parallel. Serial communication is used for transmitting data over long distances. It is much cheaper to run the single core cable needed for serial communication over a long distance than the multicore cables that would be needed for parallel communication. It is the same in wireless communication: Serial communication needs one channel while parallel needs multichannel. Serial Communication can also be classified in many other ways for example synchronous and asynchronous; it can also be classified as simplex duplex and half duplex. Because of the wide spread of serial communication from home automation to sensor and controller networks there is a need for a very large number of serial communication standards and protocols. These have been developed over recent decades and range from the simple to the highly complicated. This large number of protocols was necessary to guarantee the optimum performance for the targeted applications. It is important for communication engineers to have enough knowledge to match the right protocol and standard with the right application. The main aim of this book is to provide the reader with that knowledgeThe book also provides the reader with detailed information about:- Serial Communication- Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)- Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (USART - Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) - eSPI- Universal Serial Bus (USB)- Wi-Fi- WiMax- InsteonThe details of each technology including specification operation security related matters and many other topics are covered. The book allocates three chapters to the main communication standards. These chapters cover everything related to the most famous standard RS-232 and all its variants. Other protocols such as: I2C CAN ZigBee Z-Wave Bluetooth and others are the subject of the authors separate book “Microcontroller and Smart Home Networks”. | Serial Communication Protocols and Standards

Energy Conservation Guidebook

Efficient energy management and effective conservation procedures have been very important considerations for our society for many years. An oil embargo in the 1970s and early 1980s brought about a new awareness of energy conservation. Because of various factors like loss of tax credits and efficiency standards imposed by the government public interest dropped considerably in regard to energy conservation. A revival in energy conservation among the general public occurred following the Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s. What does the 21st century hold? Conflicts in the Middle East high prices for petroleum and increasing population worldwide will all be significant influences on energy and its conservation. Considerable discussion of climate change global warming and increased concerns in regard to our electricity supply have provided motivation for building energy demand to be more flexible. Energy Management and Conservation Fourth Edition provides a very practical discussion of how energy can be managed and saved in most types of buildings. This edition not only updates the previous edition but adds updated content concerning energy cost reduction/going green to improve the environment. The authors of this book have written several books that use the systems approach. Through the use of the systems approach the reader will be able to grasp how different parts of a building fit together to form a unit that uses energy efficiently. This text provides a thorough and practical discussion of the operation of systems that are found in most types of buildings. Each system is discussed with energy management and conservation in mind/going green to save money and improve the environment. There are many ways to manage a building to accomplish efficient energy conservation. Several of the chapters have checklists at the end to summarize ways of conserving energy that relate to the chapter. Important changes in this edition include coverage of governmental requirements from agencies such as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) United States Department of Energy (USDOE) and American Society of Refrigerating Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineering (ASHRAE) updated as of 2022 standards. Instrumentation updates include types of sensors and the concept of smart devices such as meters.
