In this paper, we i) analyze and classify real-world failures of Kubernetes (the most popular
container orchestration system), ii) develop a framework to perform a fault/error injection …

The Linux kernel is highly-configurable, with a build system that takes a configuration file as
input and automatically tailors the source code accordingly. Configurability, however …

Access-control misconfigurations are among the main causes of today's security incidents.
One main reason is that access-control configurations need to be frequently changed by …

Serverless runtime systems are complex software artifacts and difficult to make reliable. We
present a large-scale empirical study of bugs in serverless runtimes, in the context of the …

With the increasing prevalence of heterogeneous hardware and the increasing need for
online reconfiguration, there is increasing demand for heterogeneous configurations …

Modern cloud infrastructure is powered by cluster management systems such as Kubernetes
