5. ASSESSMENT

5.1. Assessment Description
A short form of the objectives and the relation to the assessment goes here. The following tests were performed: Name Resolution Functionality, where a Process Id or an IP/port is assigned to a resource name, for example worker1, worker2, ResourceManager. Workers must request concurrently pairs from the RM and return the computed distance. The election algorithm, it must allow the participation of every process in the election and also, it must allow to any participant to send an election request when needed. Finally, the system is tested against failures of the workers and of the RM. The files containing the input pairs and the processed pairs must be complete, other way a redo action runs, and if repeated pairs are found an undo action is triggered to eliminate them.
5.2. Student Perspective
Even though, the project is executed and tested locally in students’ laptops, they should not …show more content…
The worst case scenario experienced resulted to be the exposition of comments containing key pair values published on the GitHub repository; it was used by hackers to launch instances by spot requests in different regions that are not monitored frequently. Opportunely, the AWS security team could detect this leak of information and proceeded to handle this problem creating a case. Unfortunately, when their team sent the information, the intruders had already placed their Spot instance requests. Concluding, a frequent monitoring is needed and the credentials are to be handled locally (.aws and .ssh folders) with the appropriate permissions and never used as static values in the code. A total of US$ 638.48 (Figure 1) was charged in 2 days, AWS security team assigned Credits to solve this
