Icebergs in the Clouds: The Other Risks of Cloud Computing

This is an interesting series of problems by Bryan Ford from Yale university.

In the paper he counts some of the interesting problems with Cloud Computing in general:

He summarized some of the issues as follows:

• Side channels
• Stability Risks from Interactive Services
• Risks of hidden failure correlation (cross-layer robustness)
• The always-connected assumption
• Digital Preservation Risks

The assumption is making the cloud more reliable.
