Monintainer: An orchestration-independent extensible container-based monitoring solution for large clusters

Container virtualization has recently gained popularity due to its low performance and resource allocation overhead. The rise of this technology can be attributed to the advancement of cloud computing and the adoption of micro-services architecture. These new approaches offer a more efficient and fine-grained system design through the benefits of containerization, such as isolation, portability, and improved performance. However, container-based systems have created new challenges in monitoring due to their automated flexibility, ephemerality, and the increasing number of containers in a system. So there is a practical need for effective monitoring and performance management tools. This paper analyses the key performance metrics for machine, container and application services, including CPU usage, memory usage, disk usage, and network usage. Furthermore, we review several widespread tools for collecting and monitoring these metrics and present the Monintainer tool. It is a solution designed to monitor entire container-based systems, from applications to their underlying infrastructure, allowing users to better understand their systems’ behavior in run-time. The tool’s results can aid container-based systems’ design, implementation and optimization.

Performance management system and its role for employee performance: Evidence from Ethiopian SMEs

Small and mediumenterprises (SMEs) are crucial to Ethiopia's economy in creating jobs and reducing poverty. Despite the extensive literature on performance management systems (PMS) and employee productivity, there remain unanswered questions regarding which PMS predictors most effectively contribute to improved employee performance. This study aims to investigate the role of PMS in enhancing employee productivity in Ethiopian SMEs using both qualitative methods such as a literature review alongside quantitative techniques like linear regression analysis based on primary & secondary data sources. The findings provide valuable insights into effective strategies for implementing an efficient performance management system that can enhance employees' work outcomes within SMEs operating in Ethiopia.The results show that the implementation of an effective performance management system can significantly improve productivity among SMEs in Ethiopia. The five predictors identified by the linear regression model are important factors that contribute to better work outcomes among employees in Ethiopian SMEs; however, evaluation has been found to have the strongest positive relationship with improved job outcomes among those studied. Based on these findings, we recommend that SME owners/managers/HR professionals implement an effective performance management system that includes clear job responsibilities defined through performance planning, regular feedback provided about progress made towards goals set during the planning stage, periodic appraisals providing constructive criticism as well as recognition for good work done; offering training opportunities helping employees develop new skills or refine existing ones; rewarding high-performing employees who meet or exceed expectations with incentives such as bonuses or promotions can motivate them further.

Examine the Advantages of An Integrated Scalability Approach at Various Cloud Stack Layers

The development of cloud computing has significantly altered how services are built, deployed, and made accessible to users outside of the organization. In actuality, the pay-as-you-go model of dispersed IT supported by the cloud computing paradigm calls for the outsourcing of software services and applications. In this situation, the capacity to ensure effective cloud performance management and to facilitate automated scalability become fundamental prerequisites. Users of the cloud are becoming more and more interested in a transparent and coherent image of the cloud, where performance is guaranteed in a variety of situations and under a variety of loads. In this essay, we examine the advantages of an integrated scalability approach at various cloud stack layers, concentrating on the database and compute infrastructure layers. In order to achieve this, we offer various performance measurements and a set of rules based on them to assess the cloud stack's condition and scale it as needed to maintain stable performance. Then, using a proof-of-concept architecture, we empirically investigate three scaling scenarios for cloud performance: database only, computing infrastructure solely, and the scenario where computing infrastructure and database compete for resources.

Evaluating Task-Level CPU Efficiency for Distributed Stream Processing Systems

Big Data and primarily distributed stream processing systems (DSPSs) are growing in complexity and scale. As a result, effective performance management to ensure that these systems meet the required service level objectives (SLOs) is becoming increasingly difficult. A key factor to consider when evaluating the performance of a DSPS is CPU efficiency, which is the ratio of the workload processed by the system to the CPU resources invested. In this paper, we argue that developing new performance tools for creating DSPSs that can fulfill SLOs while using minimal resources is crucial. This is especially significant in edge computing situations where resources are limited and in large cloud deployments where conserving power and reducing computing expenses are essential. To address this challenge, we present a novel task-level approach for measuring CPU efficiency in DSPSs. Our approach supports various streaming frameworks, is adaptable, and comes with minimal overheads. This enables developers to understand the efficiency of different DSPSs at a granular level and provides insights that were not previously possible.
