Dynamo: amazon's highly available key-value store

TLDR
D Dynamo is presented, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience and makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.
Abstract
Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web sites worldwide, is implemented on top of an infrastructure of tens of thousands of servers and network components located in many datacenters around the world. At this scale, small and large components fail continuously and the way persistent state is managed in the face of these failures drives the reliability and scalability of the software systems.This paper presents the design and implementation of Dynamo, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience. To achieve this level of availability, Dynamo sacrifices consistency under certain failure scenarios. It makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.

Highly reliable architecture using the 80/20 rule in cloud computing datacenters

TL;DR: This paper presents a highly reliable cloud architecture by leveraging the 80/20 rule (80% of cluster failures come from 20% of physical machines) to identify failure-prone physical machines by dividing each cluster into reliable and risky sub-clusters.

CADRE: Carbon-Aware Data Replication for Geo-Diverse Services

TL;DR: CADRE uses the multiple-choice secretary algorithm to replicate objects with large footprints to low emission sites and models carbon footprints for each object using the footprint-replication curve, a graph that maps replication factors to expected carbon footprints.

The state of peer-to-peer network simulators

TL;DR: The landscape of simulators for research in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is looked at by conducting a survey of a combined total of over 280 papers from before and after 2007, and a set of criteria that P2P simulators should meet are proposed.
