Streamlined Deployment and Monitoring of Cloud-Native Applications on AWS with Kubernetes Prometheus Grafana
As organizations increasingly move their applications to the cloud, it becomes essential to have an efficient and cost-effective method for deploying and managing those applications. Manual deployment can be time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive. Additionally, managing logs and monitoring resources for each deployment can lead to even greater costs. To address these challenges, we propose implementing an automation strategy for deployment in the cloud. With automation, the deployment process can be streamlined and standardized across different cloud providers, reducing the potential for errors and saving time and resources. Furthermore, a central log system can be implemented to manage logs from different deployments in one location. This provides a unified view of all logs and allows for easier troubleshooting and analysis. Automation can also be used to set up monitoring resources, such as alerts and dashboards, across different deployments. Overall, implementing an automation strategy for deployment in the cloud can help organizations save time and resources while improving their ability to manage and monitor their applications. A centralized log management system can further enhance these benefits by providing a unified view of logs from all deployments 2023 IEEE. -
Martian Habitats: A Review
Establishing colonies in Lunar and Martian environments is the major task of our primary means to become a multi-planetary civilization. The Space Exploration Initiative (SEI), administered by President George H.W. Bush in 1989, was the first spark that ignited humanity's vision to establish space settlements beyond low Earth orbit (LEO) (Marc M. Cohen, 2015). At present, private space companies (like SpaceX and Blue Origin) are competing to be the first ones to colonise space. From the late 1980s to the present space race, many space habitat designs to suit human factors, ensure protection from space radiation, and be capable of regulating our day-to-day activities have been proposed for both lunar and martian settlements, respectively. In this paper, only Martian settlements are focused, and the reason for that follows next. While the moon is closer to Earth than Mars, Mars has several other advantages that make it an equal, if not a better candidate for colonisation. Some of the reasons why martian colonisation is preferred over lunar colonization include the presence of an atmosphere on Mars, its resource-rich nature, and its rotation period being closer to Earth's rotation period (Mars has 24.5 hours per day, while the moon has 28-day days) (Kamrun Narher Tithi, 2017). Another added advantage is its proximity to the main belt asteroids, which will further increase the potential for space mining in the future. So this paper will be a review of the various Martian habitat designs proposed over the last one and a half decades in terms of their designs, construction and challenges. To do so, it is assumed that every step associated with delivering the habitats to the Martian environment is achievable. These steps include the following: propulsion systems for long-term spaceflights; launch vehicles capable of lifting the habitats and fitting the habitat modules within them (Marc M. Cohen, 2015).

Performance Evaluation of OTFS Under Different Channel Conditions for LEO Satellite Downlink
Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation scheme is being actively pursued as a viable alternative to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme in future wireless standards due to the inherent ability of OTFS to mitigate the Doppler effects in high mobility scenarios. The inclusion of Non Terrestrial Network (NTN) in Release 17 of 3GPP (3rd generation partnership project) New Radio (NR) standard signifies the vital role of Satellite Communications to achieve coverage extension, capability augmentation and seamless global connectivity. In this context, it becomes important to study the suitability of OTFS modulation scheme with respect to satellite channel scenarios. In this paper, we consider the downlink channel scenarios defined by 3GPP NR NTN for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites at sub-6 GHz and millimetre wave frequencies for evaluating the performance of OTFS modulation schemes. Simulation results using LMMSE (Linear Minimum Mean Square Error) and MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) detection algorithms confirm that OTFS modulation is highly robust against Doppler effects and performs consistently across all channel conditions. From simulation results, it is observed that the performance of iterative MRC detection is better than LMMSE for 16QAM and 64QAM modulation schemes by achieving respective gains of around 5 dB and 10 dB for corresponding Bit Error Rate (BER) values of 0.01 and 0.1. 2023 IEEE. -
