The Way

In the last decade cloud computing transformed the way in which we build applications. The boom in cloud computing helped to develop new software design and architecture. Helping the developers to focus more on the business logic than the infrastructure. FaaS (function as a service) compute model it gave developers to concentrate only on the application code and rest of the factors will be taken care by the cloud provider. Here we present a serverless architecture of a web application built using AWS services and provide detail analysis of lambda function and micro service software design implemented using these AWS services.

Cloud computing instruction requires hands-on experience with a myriad of distributed computing services from a public cloud provider. Tracking the progress of the students, especially for online courses, requires one to automatically gather evidence and produce learning analytics in order to further determine the behavior and performance of students. With this aim, this paper describes the experience from an online course in cloud computing with Amazon Web Services on the creation of an open-source data processing tool to systematically obtain learning analytics related to the hands-on activities carried out throughout the course. These data, combined with the data obtained from the learning management system, have allowed the better characterization of the behavior of students in the course. Insights from a population of more than 420 online students through three academic years have been assessed, the dataset has been released for increased reproducibility. The results corroborate that course length has an impact on online students dropout. In addition, a gender analysis pointed out that there are no statistically significant differences in the final marks between genders, but women show an increased degree of commitment with the activities planned in the course.

Today, there is a data workload that needs to be managed efficiently. There are many ways for the management and scheduling of processes, which can impact the performance and quality of the product and highly available, scalable web hosting can be a complex and expensive proposition. Traditional web architectures don’t offer reliability. So in this work a Scrum Console is being designed for managing a process which will be hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) [2] which provides a reliable, scalable, highly available and high performance infrastructure web application. The Scrum Console Platform facilitates the collaboration of various members of a team to manage projects together. The Scrum Console Platform has been developed using JSP, Hibernate & Oracle 12c Enterprise Edition Database. The Platform is deployed as a web application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk which automates the deployment, management and monitoring of the application while relying on the underlying AWS resources such EC2, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, autoscaling, etc.

Cloud computing is one of the paradigms that have undertaken to deliver the utility computing concept. It views computing as a utility similar to water and electricity. We aim in this paper to make an investigation of two highly efficacious Cloud platforms: Microsoft Azure (Azure) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) from users’ perspectives the point of view of users. We highlight and compare in depth the features of Azure and AWS from users’ perspectives. The features which we shall focus on include (1) Pricing, (2) Availability, (3) Confidentiality, (4) Secrecy, (5) Tier Account and (6) Service Level Agreement (SLA). The study shows that Azure is more appropriate when considering Pricing and Availability (Error Rate) while AWS is more appropriate when considering Tier account. Our user survey study and its statistical analysis agreed with the arguments made for each of the six comparisons factors.

<p><strong>CONDE (Climate simulation ON DEmand)</strong> is the final result of our work and research about climate and meteorological simulations over an HPC as a Service (HPCaaS) model. On our architecture we run very large climate ensemble simulations using a, adapted, WRF version that is executed on-demand and that can be deployed over different Cloud Computing environments (like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud) and that uses BOINC as middleware for the tasks execution and results gathering. Here, we also present as well some basic examples of applications and experiments to verify that the simulations ran in our system are correct and show valid results. </p>

Tailored Information

The Queensland Government’s Long Paddock website has been redeveloped on Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform, to provide Australian rangelands and grazing communities (i.e. rural landholders, managers, pastoralists (graziers), researchers, advisors, students, consultants and extension providers) with easier access to seasonal climate and pasture condition information. The website provides free, tailored information and services to support management decisions to maximise productivity, while maintaining the natural resource base. For example, historical rainfall and pasture analyses (i.e. maps, posters and data) have been developed to assist in communicating the risk of multi-year droughts that are a feature of Queensland’s highly variable climate.

Reproducibility is fundamental to science, and an important component of reproducibility is computational reproducibility: the ability of a researcher to recreate the results in a published paper using the original author's raw data and code. Although most people agree that computational reproducibility is important, it is still difficult to achieve in practice. In this paper, we describe our approach to enabling computational reproducibility for the 12 papers in this special issue of Socius about the Fragile Families Challenge. Our approach draws on two tools commonly used by professional software engineers but not widely used by academic researchers: software containers (e.g., Docker) and cloud computing (e.g., Amazon Web Services). These tools enabled us to standardize the computing environment around each submission, which will ease computational reproducibility both today and in the future. Drawing on our successes and struggles, we conclude with recommendations to authors and journals.
