    Flexible and Lightweight Mitigation Framework for Distributed Denial-Of Attacks in Container-Based Edge Networks Using Kubernetes
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Koksal, Sarp; Catak, Ferhat Ozgur; Dalveren, Yaser
    Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has a significant potential to become more prevalent in Fifth Generation (5G) networks, requiring resource management that is lightweight, agile, and dynamic. Container-based virtualization platforms, such as Kubernetes, have emerged as key enablers for MEC environments. However, network security and data privacy remain significant concerns, particularly due to Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks that threaten the massive connectivity of end-devices. This study proposes a defense mechanism to mitigate DDoS attacks in container-based MEC networks using Kubernetes. The mechanism dynamically scales Containerized Network Functions (CNFs) with auto-scaling through an Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDPS). The architecture of the proposed mechanism leverages distributed edge clusters and Kubernetes to manage resources and balance the load of IDPS CNFs. Experiments conducted in a real MEC environment using OpenShift and Telco-grade MEC profiles demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism against Domain Name System (DNS) flood and Yo-Yo attacks. Results also verify that Kubernetes efficiently meets the lightweight, agile, and dynamic resource management requirements of MEC networks.

    Does Domain-Driven Design Lead To Finding the Optimal Modularity of a Microservice?
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2021) Vural, Hulya; Koyuncu, Murat
    Information systems are moving into the cloud. The new requirements enforced by cloud standards are high availability, high scalability, and a reduced mean time to recovery. Due to these new requirements, information system architecture styles are also evolving. Microservice architecture is becoming the de facto standard for developing highly modular cloud information systems. Since microservices were introduced, there has been an ongoing debate concerning how to choose the granularity of a microservice. In this study, the optimal point of granularity for microservices is examined based on coupling and cohesion values. The present study is based on two design examples generated in previous studies that applied domain-driven design in proposing microservices. Both examples are modified to generate more and less granular microservices. The coupling and cohesion values of the original examples are compared to those of the more and less granular microservices. We observe that domain-driven design has delivered a good end result for finding modular microservices.
