A Self-Configuration Controller To Detect, Identify, and Recover Misconfiguration at IoT Edge Devices and Containerized Cluster System

Abstract

Misconfiguration of IoT edge devices and containerized backend components can lead to various complications like performance degradation, non-compliant data flows, and external vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose a self-configurable cluster controller that uses the hierarchical hidden Markov model to detect, identify, and recover from misconfiguration at the container and network communication level. Our experimental evaluations show that our controller can reduce the effects of misconfiguration and improves system performance and reliability.
