On a recent trip to the Bay Area, I took a few hours to pay a visit to Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research Lab (BAIR). Professor Ken Goldberg walked me around the lab and introduced me to a couple of projects the students have been working on. FogROS immediately grabbed my attention and not just because it sports a name similar to a problematic French cuisine.

The offering arrives as part of the latest version of the open source Robotic Operating System, ROS 2 Humble Hawksbill the eight release of ROS 2. In a nutshell, it offers a method for offloading robotic tasks to a remote server, using a cloud computing platform like Amazon Web Services. Advances to server-side computing that have made things like cloud gaming possible with minimal latency can also be applied to robotics operations.

Robots are often limited in their onboard computing capabilities due to weight and power requirements, Jeff Ichnowski, a Berkeley post-doc student who headed up the project, told TechCrunch. They also rarely have hardware accelerators like GPUs, TPUS or FPGAs. But many robot algorithms and recent advances (e.g. deep learning) benefit from high-end computers and hardware accelerators. We envision that using cloud computing to speed up slow computations can enable robots to do more things in the same amount of time.

The platform being announced today as part of the new version of ROS is actually FogROS 2. Version one, which was introduced last summer, was an early proof-of-concept. This March, the teams quietly made a preview of FogROS 2 available through GitHub, and today it goes live for all, sporting a number of improvements designed to optimize cloud-based performance.

Much like playing Xbox games on a smartphone, the basic principle here is supplying a method to execute complex tasks on a robot that doesnt require equally complex on-board processing. If you can complete the task via a remote server, you can save on size, weight and perhaps most importantly cost. The team notes in a recently published paper:

We demonstrate in example applications that the performance gained by using cloud computers can overcome the network latency to significantly speed up robot performance. In examples, FogROS 2 reduces SLAM latency by 50%, reduces grasp planning time from 14s to 1.2s, and speeds up motion planning 28x. When compared to alternatives, FogROS 2 reduces network utilization by up to 3.8x.

Goldberg notes that such a platform could open up even more possibilities for robotics than those listed above. It can potentially benefit other compute-intensive tasks for robots such as stochastic planning and facilitate supervised and unsupervised deep learning of tasks from multiple robots.

Future versions of the program could open things up to additional platforms, including Google Cloud and Azure. The team notes:

In future work, we will continue to add support for additional cloud computing providers and services. We will explore additional models of computing, such as serverless, spot instances, and more. We will also explore extending the networking capabilities of FogROS 2 to allow robots to communicate, collaborate, and share data more easily.

Humble Hawskbill includes a number of additional features a number of additions beyond the cloud computing platform. Per Open Robotics, which is tasked with maintaining ROS, updates include,

The Robot Operating System made its debut at ICRA thirteen years ago this month and Open Robotics celebrated its ten-year company anniversary in March, Open Robotics CEO said in a release tied to the news, so the release of ROS 2 Humble Hawksbill is the perfect opportunity to thank the global community of thousands of developers and millions of users who contribute to and improve the platform.

I came across an interesting blog post over at Finextra which got me thinking about a topic that has been in the back of my mind for a while now the systemic risks of cloud computing concentration. It seems like everyone has made or is making the move from maintaining big, expensive data centers to letting Amazon, Microsoft, or Google worry about the buildings, infrastructure and hardware. I cant say I blame them, especially since getting new servers and other hardware has become a much more difficult and time consuming process now that all of our supply chains seem to have been broken.

But there is a downside as well when one of the big cloud providers is having a bad day, people notice most of the web sites and services we depend on depend on at least one of these providers being up and running. And there have been some major outages in the past year. So far, these outages have not had a systemic impact on the financial system. So far.

While the big cloud providers have all sorts of options to make systems within their perimeters fault tolerant to a degree, we have seen provider level outages which disrupted the Internet. In order to achieve true resilience when one of these events happens, organizations need to be thinking about true multi cloud solutions and there are some significant hurdles which need to be surmounted to do this.

The biggest hurdle is the cloud vendors tempting managed offerings managed Kubernetes clusters, databases, serverless services these are great for standing up new services quickly, but make multi cloud operation difficult, if not impossible. Even if another vendor has the same kind of managed database, it is going to be just different enough from your primary vendor to make porting your systems over expensive and time consuming. This is not a bug it is a feature. Vendors want to lock customers into their product (and who can blame them?).

In the financial world, regulators are taking notice, and institutions and their service providers (as well as cloud providers) need to be thinking about true multi cloud resilience solutions before the next big outage hits.

If you are at the beginning of your cloud journey and your application is critical, design it to be multi cloud from day one this will be waaaaaay less expensive and complex than trying to address the issue after you have a million customers.

When making architectural decisions, consider the benefits and the costs of adopting core services which are specific to your primary cloud provider. Think about how you would/could replicate them in another providers environment BEFORE you get locked in.

Given the increasing automation and speed we are seeing in financial services, it is only a matter of time before there is an event which really galvanizes regulators attention; the time to be thinking about diversifying your cloud infrastructure is now.

NEW DELHI: Amazon Web Services, subsidiary of e-commerce giant Amazon Inc., on Wednesday said it has trained over 2 million individuals in skills linked to myriad areas of cloud computing, ever since introducing its first such programme in India in 2017. It has worked with government-aided bodies, educational institutes and corporate organizations to achieve this milestone, which has included first-time learners and mid-career professionals alike.

Puneet Chandhok, president for India and South Asia at Amazon Web Services (AWS), cited an internal report to state that in the next three years, three of every five professionals in India will feel the need to learn cloud-related skills to progress their careers. AWS says its programmes are aimed at fulfilling this gap, which includes initiatives such as Amazon Restart.

Amazon Restart is a free, 12-week skill development programme targeted at unemployed and underemployed individuals, whom AWS helps in finding employment at basic levels for cloud computing and services-linked roles. Under Restart, the company has established partnerships such as with rural and semi-urban education development body, All India Society for Electronics and Computer Technology (Aisect) and consulting group IPE Global.

The company has also struck partnerships with corporate organizations such as financial analysis firm Perfios and consultancy firm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Such partnerships are aimed at upskilling mid- and early-career level professionals in skills related to cloud computing and services on AWS.

To be sure, AWS is not the only big tech firm that has an active training and upskilling program in India. Microsoft, which is Amazons biggest competitor in the cloud services and computing sector with Azure, offers similar training programs under its India Skilling Initiative. In January this year, the company expanded on its umbrella offering with skilling programs directly targeting small and medium businesses (SMBs) in the country.

During its announcement of its digital skilling programs for SMBs, Microsoft had said its Global Skills Initiative programme had helped more than 30 lakh individuals in India gain digital skills across various industries and areas of interest, which included cloud computing as well.

Google India, too, announced a Career Certificate for Upskillers program in November last year, aiming to upskill 10 lakh individuals in digital skills that include cloud services, by 2023.

Debjani Ghosh, president of trade association Nasscom, said today that such skilling programmes should hold national priority", and called for collaboration across government, corporates and industry associations" to facilitate the same.

Cloud Computing in Higher Education Market Research Report by Application, Type, Industry Share, Size, Manufacturing Cost Analysis and Industry...

Cloud computing has become a key part of the IT strategy of companies that seek to be at the forefront and advance in their development.

This infrastructure is not exactly something new , but it is now essential in many sectors, especially those in which digital transformation is not an option, since due to its rapid growth it is always necessary to expand computing and data storage capabilities.

In an increasingly digital world, the vast demand for the cloud is expected to continue to expand rapidly during 2022. However, the world of cloud computing continues to evolve year after year in an agile dynamic to adapt to new needs, so Events such as the Cloud Summit 2022 , which will take place from May 17 to 19, are designed to annually chart a new path and guide companies in the future of cloud computing to drive business.

Although the adoption of the cloud had been increasing for some time, the arrival of the pandemic has accelerated the process, so now with the reactivation and the new normal we are seeing various use cases for the cloud. Here is a review of the concepts about cloud computing that you should know due to its growing adoption:

According to Equinix , 93% of enterprises have expressed interest in or have already committed to hybrid cloud, showing how important it is today to be able to have access to a convenient combination of the strengths of the public and private cloud. .

Previously, the most common thing was to choose between a public or a private cloud, each of these has advantages, so for some time it has become normal to implement a combination of both that allows having all their benefits together, reaching the so-called hybrid cloud.

Using a hybrid cloud as a resource allows companies to have the best of both worlds at their fingertips. On the one hand, data that requires frequent and rapid access can be stored on public servers, while confidential information can continue on private servers with greater access control.

Due to its size, when we talk about multicloud, we refer to the possibility of having multiple clouds, that is, using solutions from different providers, which also allows you to take advantage of the best features that each provider offers.

If before it was almost impossible to integrate information from different providers, today this has become easier and more convenient for large companies that handle a large amount of data and applications.

The use of the hybrid cloud and multiple clouds can be summed up in the possibility of having a personalized technological environment tailored to each organization and the technological needs of the company.

In recent years, there has been talk of a type of decentralized IT infrastructure designed to reduce latency problems while increasing the performance of cloud applications.

Edge Computing, translated as the edge of computing, refers to an infrastructure that is not centralized directly in the core of a server. For many it is a threat to cloud computing, but the truth is that it came with the aim of bringing applications and data closer to edge devices, that is, those that are closer to end users.

Features are comparable to cloud computing, but because edge computing brings the cloud closer to the end user, speed is increased, latency is reduced, and possibilities are expanded. Of course, by having the data and resources closer to the end user, in most cases it ends up being a better option to process them locally.

This type of solution will undoubtedly be a high-impact boost for companies that need to increase operational efficiency, but at the same time, end users will be favored by enjoying a better experience.

More and more large companies are joining this trend of taking games to the cloud. Google (Stadia), Microsoft (Xbox Cloud Gaming), Amazon (Luna), are some of the cloud gaming services available today.

Thanks to the power of the cloud, cloud gaming makes it possible to play video games at any time without having to have a powerful computer (PC, console, mobile). In this case, the main demand is a good internet because the transmission of the game is done through streaming.

A good way to take advantage of the cloud to take the experience in this industry of great growth in recent years to another level, which thanks to different innovations has made significant progress. In this way, instead of processing the graphics of the video game in the PC, smartphone or console processor, this process is carried out directly in huge and powerful servers in the cloud, from where the resulting image is simply sent via streaming to the user's device. Username.

Of course, latency times must be minimal to guarantee a good experience when playing video games in the cloud, and this is where Edge Computing plays a very important role, avoiding delays at the time of actions such as pressing buttons, since that all the information travels through the network, so having it as close as possible to the end user can be decisive.

Currently, the benefits of blockchain technology, which is a fundamental part of cryptocurrencies and the different transfer models of digital assets such as NFTs, smart contracts, among others, are widely known.

With the advent of Web3, many companies are looking to integrate blockchain technology into their operations, something that Kubernetes came to facilitate. This open source solution was created to easily achieve the integration of that technology by automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Originally designed by Google and later donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Kubernetes has become an efficient and productive option when it comes to configuring, installing, and managing either a public or private blockchain environment.

Undoubtedly, the implementation of blockchain through Kubernetes provides a series of benefits, among which are simpler technological deployments, various types of storage, interoperability, surveillance, security, among others.

This is how cloud computing advances, a valuable resource for companies - Entrepreneur

Cybersecurity must become as flexible as the architecture itself to help companies pivot quickly and respond even faster. Continuous intelligence can help.

Cloud computing offers enterprises the flexibility and proficiency to not only gather vast amounts of data but put it in motion for real-time insights. The downside to moving to the cloud is that new cybersecurity challenges arise. These are some of the most pervasive cloud computing threats for the coming years and what some enterprises are doing now to mitigate the risk.

The cloud offers an attractive place for threat actors to focus their efforts. Enterprises are layered with systems, creating loopholes that allow cybersecurity threats to work their way into systems far from where the original source of weakness was located. Add in the millions, even billions of data assets IT teams manage, and you have a massive potential to overwhelm during monitoring alone.

According to a report from Checkpoint Security, cyberattacks were on the rise last year. This is also worrying because we often see an increase in certain types of attacks as they prove lucrative, but its rarer to see a general increase. Better automation and tools that allow companies to run their businesses have also created better tools for cyberattacks. Companies will have to approach their security strategies with the same thoughtful automation.

Cloud services are also a primary target because of pandemic-related activities. The pandemic caused an acceleration in cloud adoption as companies tried to adjust to lockdown and other changes in how we work.

Now its been two years. Companies and their third-party service providers have had the opportunity to close many of those early security loopholes caused by rapid movement and have largely been successful. However, vulnerability still exists within cloud infrastructure, providing opportunities despite greater security measures.

See also: Why Continuous Intelligence is Essential for Modern Security Operations

Remote work caused an uptick in employees working from their personal devicesconvenient for the enterprise during a pandemic and convenient for threat actors. Although it facilitates productivity from a work-from-home space, it decreases visibility for IT teams stretched to the limits.

Different phishing scams, including smishing or malicious links sent through SMS, can be difficult to track or spot until its too late to alleviate the damage. Personal devices may offer far less security than company devices or those hardwired to a network, so companies must adapt their approaches to employees accessing the company cloud from home.

Mobile devices create insecure access points across the network. Application programming interfaces allow users to access cloud-based products no matter where they are, but they can be ports of entry for malicious actors. Even with authentication, some hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities due to a lack of visibility or phishing.

See also: What Makes Cloud Observability Critical and Different?

Companies will continue to fight for crucial IT talent to implement security measures for increasing cloud attack surfaces. However, they wont be able to solve all their problems through hiring. Instead, theyll need to take other innovative measures and adopt the tools and processes to increase visibility and automate responses.

Automation helps support IT teams by identifying and then prioritizing flags for monitoring. Human teams can step in to verify if potential attacks are occurring and plug holes. In addition, machine automation can help outline complex relationships between devices, entitlements, and the network.

Gartner identified cybersecurity mesh as a key security feature in its list of top strategic tech trends for 2022. Cybersecurity mesh mimics the move towards flexible, composable architecture by allowing companies to reconfigure their cybersecurity protocols to match needs in real-time. It helps companies integrate distributed security services. The mesh would allow IT professionals and administration to verify identities, provide context, and ensure policy adherence across the entire system.

Experts identify cybersecurity mesh as a process that allows companies to integrate cloud services into their zero trust architecture as a whole. End-point detection and response, as well as multi-factor authentication, also fit into the security process here.

Cloud-native platforms and tools also have a place in the overall security strategy. These products and tools make security easier because they make the most of what the cloud offers and then protect those assets the way cloud products need. Most importantly, it helps enterprises maintain visibility where they need it.

Reducing the cloud attack surface is also required. Quick response times will also reduce the amount of damage hackers are able to do. Either way, cloud attacks will become more commonplace, and companies should be ready.

Companies still in the early stages of their cloud migration will be more vulnerable than those with a more mature cloud strategy. Those companies understand their attack surface and cloud landscape, giving them a better opportunity to handle the basics.

And thats what many of these security attacks are. While truly complex threats exist, many of the most pervasive phishing and ransomware are still simple. That means that less mature companies arent doing the foundational work of creating a secure cloud architecture and training their people to be on the lookout for anomalies. IT cant handle everything. Mature companies know this and work with employees to ensure that private devices are handled with proper security protocols and zero trust remains in place.

Organizations cant turn back the clock on remote work or cloud migration, but they can implement basic security protocols that help protect cloud assets. With processes such as cybersecurity mesh, companies can adapt their security infrastructure to help meet the basic requirements that cybersecurity requires today.

Thats the biggest trend moving forwardadaptability. Cybersecurity must become as flexible as the architecture itself to help companies pivot quickly and respond even faster. This is the only way companies will be able to implement an integrated, cohesive, and, most importantly, automated security infrastructure.

The combination of robotics, teleoperation, MEC, and core cloud technologies is poised to transform enterprise operations, industrial processes, and consumer services across many industry verticals. Both purpose-built and general-purpose robotics segments will benefit greatly from cloud operations as well as both terrestrial and aerial robots. In the case of the latter, mass consumerization will occur as end-users become accustomed to autonomous and remote-control robots for many different personal services tasks.

The cloud robotics market will usher into existence a much broader array of robotics services. This is due to several factors including much more flexible services execution, reduced operational friction (such as fewer proprietary interfaces), and improved economics through robotics-as-a-service in a cloud-based application model. Initially, industrial and government clients will see the greatest benefit, followed by the enterprise in certain leading industry verticals. The cloud robotics market will eventually open up to consumers in a limited manner.

Thanks to 5GNR wireless support, many cloud robotics applications will be untethered and portable, but not highly mobile due to line of sight (LOS) limitations of mmWave propagation. However, LOS will be adequate for many cloud robotics market applications such as those found in military and industrial solutions. Enterprise and government (federal, state, and local) security will be one of the leading solutions, which will typically be provided on a security-as-a-service basis through managed service robotics companies such as Knightscope, Inc.

Global Cloud Robotics Market Report to 2027 - by Technology, Robot Type, Hardware, Software, Services, Infrastructure & Cloud Deployment Types,...

Cloud hosting is becoming much more popular as businesses look to store their data in a safe, virtual space. From the cloud to the metaverse, these entities without tangible, physical locations can be confusing and challenging to wrap your head around.

But cloud hosting is not just for those in the tech world many businesses, no matter their field, are moving to the cloud to protect their assets. Cloud hosting moves your data from a physical server to multiple virtual machines but has many advantages.

Cloud hosting allows users to access applications and web pages through the cloud across a network of servers, both physical and virtual. Lets break down how cloud hosting works and consider five common use examples.

Cloud hosting is made possible by moving the contents of a physical server to a network of virtual machines, which host websites and other data.

This process is called virtualization and there are many benefits.

These virtual systems allow users to access data remotely instead of pigeonholing them to a specific location at all times.

One significant benefit of cloud hosting is security. By moving your data to machines that arent as tangible as an in-office server, you lower the risk of theft.

Organizations that handle sensitive information can protect their clients data and their own when moving their organization to the cloud.

As people spend more time working remotely, security concerns are growing. It is easier to put private information on a less secure, public WiFi network, such as a local coffee shop.

So if your organization has data that needs to be secured, hidden, encrypted, or requires multi-factor authentication, cloud hosting is a great next step.

Instead, a network of connected virtual and physical cloud servers hosts the application or website, ensuring greater flexibility and scalability.

Flexibility in all aspects of the business world is becoming more and more important. With a variety of models IaaS, SaaS, Baas, etc. cloud computing caters to various business styles. The cloud is also reliable in the fact that it is constantly available.

You can mold cloud computing to fit any business model, from flexible models to available services.

Latency, or delays in telecommunications, can be a massive hassle for small businesses.

It can be very challenging to run a successful business, from server issues to too many people using the WiFi simultaneously.

Moving to the cloud is a great way to monitor and eliminate latency issues across your organization, especially as companies lean into permanent flex and hybrid models for their employees.

Running a small business is challenging enough. When you move to a cloud hosting service, a support team from a major company is always ready to help.

This is immensely beneficial as it takes some of the maintenance workloads off your plate. It also provides you with a team of support to assist with any cloud-related issues.

Suppose your organization is not in the tech realm. In that case, you may need additional help setting up and running your company using cloud hosting.

While support varies based on the cloud hosting service you choose, all cloud service providers have support teams available via email, chat, or phone.

The cloud is an incredibly reliable way to run your business. It offers security, flexibility, and support while eliminating latency issues.

In fact, it provides reliability that standard, non-cloud servers simply cannot compete with today.

Because your data will now be run across a network of servers, its virtually impervious to failure. If there are any problems with one server, you can expect additional resources to pick up the slack and eliminate any downtime.

Cloud hosting can seem complicated and overwhelming, but it doesnt have to be.

The cloud is an excellent way to protect your data and increase performance and security. Dont wait until its too late to move your company to the cloud. Get ahead of the game and move your company to the cloud today.
